You'd have to be pretty sure you had the dreaded bg under control to dd in mid September.

Drilling anyone?

Change the system & you will change your weed spectrum. You can grow willowherb and brome instead
3 days here.
2 days, in fact, if we'd gone on drilling in the dark, which I always hate with a vengeance unless push comes to shove.
But at the time, having listened so very carefully to all the forecasts for October, we didn't expect to be at all pushed.

Mid September for fields with non a week later for those with some in the past
first wheat after a break after spring barley is effective Avadex on every crop glyphosate a day before emergence high seed rate
if there is a lot of bg in the break crop then spring crops only for 3 years
heavy cold land that can only be planted in October in dry years
"heavy cold land that can only be planted in October in dry years"
Exactly the same applies here, yellow belly.
It's entirely my own fault that several hundred tons of wheat which should have been harvested here in 2020 now won't be.
And I willingly admit to having, stupidly, been misled by all the forecasters into thinking that October 2019 would be reasonably dry.

I might ring them up and ask what their methodology was.

Drive around the "heathy" land and you will see nicely drilled fields. Drop down onto the heavier stuff and you will struggle to see any at all - and fields that have been drilled on the heavy stuff will never make a decent crop.

They are following the USDA model.
Also of the acreage planted how much will come top harvest. Late drilled stuff is really starting to look like it's hurting with all this wet.

There will be more fields written of between now and April than make it to a combine round here.

Having done nearly 200 miles today there is a lot of very sick stuff about
The USDA methodology is still driving markets. Look at the widening spread between wheat & maize. The markets still think there's a lot of US maize out there & it doesn't bode well for feed barley that competes with maize in feed rations.

If you haven’t got black grass, why where you waiting till October?
