You don't like linseed?Pleased with it , the hot weather was ideal for heat units but so little rain since planting probably hurt it a bit . First year so a big learning curve and defo better bet than linseed.
This year linseed was awful but most years that’s the sort of yield I would expect from linseed. They both sell for a similar price don’t they? And yet linseed is surely less risk to grow? I don’t know, but am just asking the question really.Pleased with it , the hot weather was ideal for heat units but so little rain since planting probably hurt it a bit .

It has had plenty of sun and heat but very little rain . As a whole I think it has a place in the rotation and its wanted by lots of buyers so that has got to be a good thing .surely if soya didnt yield well this year, it never will....?

Spot on Brisel it was that last week of 30 plus temps that just did it in on the top flowers they fried in the heat as the plants were running low on water . A bit of a shame but next year is just around the corner so try again.
Well the soya has been collected 13.280 tons of 8 ha
. A little less than our estimate, was hopping for 15 ton but hey ho it is what it is . Still I don't think it not too bad for our first attempt .
How do you think the loss of reglone will effect the viability of soya in the UK?Yes will be growing 16 ha of soya this year . Got it give it another go in hopefully a bit more of a normal year.
This year upping seed rate a bit a little bit of n to start it off .
To be fair there is probably another 200 kg left in the store as rain had got in . and was a bit mouldy . oops .
