[QUOTE="AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds, post: 7868375, member: 142623"] Today we release our [URL='https://ahdb.org.uk/cereals-oilseeds/crop-development-report']first crop condition report[/URL] for the 2021/22 growing season. This report summarises the condition of major GB cereal and oilseeds crops as of the end of November 2021. So, what do the results show? [HEADING=2]Crop development as of November 2021[/HEADING] The weather was kinder this autumn compared with previous years. Mild, dry and settled conditions for most allowed farmers to focus on planned winter cropping. Clement weather allowed for good spraying and drilling conditions across the whole of the UK. All of this in total has resulted in good crop establishment to the end of November.

This is versus 57% last season. Only 4% of the crop was stated to be in poor-very poor condition. Winter wheat drilling was almost complete by the end of November. In September, 27% of winter wheat was drilled, a further 62% in October and 10% in November.

Drilling was completed in a timely manner, with 57% planted in September, 43% in October and the final 1% in November.
