Early yields from Eastern Europe

do people think the showery weather in june/july so far and lack of sunshine will affect wheat/spring barley yields? or is there time yet for big yields if the next few weeks of predicted dry weather happens?
Micotoxins could be an issue in wheat
my Spring barley Still putting on yield some tillers just flowering
spring wheat could add yield but increased ergot a risk plus micro toxins especially where maize grown nearby

Just finished harvesting the wheat a few hours ago. 4.6 t/ha average on 220 ha, had a few disasterous fields with sub 1t/ha and the best fields yielded ~7t/ha. We had no rain from mid march to late may and a couple of -8 C frosts in april.

So wheat yields in Europe and Eastern Europe are fair to poor then???
the farmers are saying its not as good as hoped
the trade are saying theres more to come
the government s are saying we will be able to fulfill shortfall elswhere if you buy now
im saying same as I did after my winter sortie across to and beyond the lack of non artificial snow covered alpine meadows
