Defra first estimates of 2020 UK wheat and barley production

[AT Aloss]

A late harvest & no data from Wales or N.I. has resulted in Defra's first forecast of harvest 2020 coming in with an average wheat yield of 7.98 t/ha & average barley yield of 7.96 t/ha (winter & spring sown figures combined).

Let's have a quick straw poll to see whether it's higher or lower in the real world?
