Flat barley after the winds and rain

[tw15]

My daughter sent me a message this morning that on here way to school there is a lot of w barley that now looks like a carpet after last nights wind and rain . I do hope others are not getting hammered around the country .
This wind and heavy rain has just come at the wrong time for w barley in Dorset.

As posted elsewhere , I think a lot of barley is now down. Surge has gone over , but not the Cassia on a different field.

 

[Mr Charisma]

Beans look very weather beaten this morning

At this early stage at least it should try and come back up.

This wasn't the year to cut back on PGRs after all! Hard decision to make on drought stressed crops in April.

 

[Gong Farmer]

Indeed, applying them at the right time could have done more damage than lodging

First year growing Hybrid barley, previous years growing Venture etc we never had v tall crops and never had much issue with lodging. Volume this year is the tallest barley we have grown. Will have a look later when the rain stops but praying its still standing up (Can't actually see a fair proportion of the field without going on a long and soggy walk through the crop). Hoping the PGR's we did put on will have been enough!

Yep it's down already had two neighbours tell me .
That's the problem farming next to a busy road everyone can see your triumphs but also your disasters!
The cassia back of beyond is still standing .

I have spring propino gone down. Will it get back up? I put Terp on the meadow land and headland over laps

I'm watching the cricket which is more exciting than looking at the barly i have welded to the floor. Didn't really want to grow the stuff either.

Anybody's wheat starting to lay? getting worried about ours after pig muck!!!

Barleys fine its my wheat that's on the floor ‍

 

[chipchap]

I've got a few bits of wheat gone over.
Anything drilled before 21st September next year will be getting a dose of modus, as well as cycocel.

also got planet spring barley gone down, had it's growth reg. same question will it get back up? and will it fill and yield anything after going over so early in it's life?

barley in flower and wet is a sure recipe for flattening in wind...old saying 'no farmer goes bust through flat barley but wheat is a different matter'.....doubt barley will come back up much but really talking about a few more screenings

first year in my farming life i've not grown winter barley...not missing the corn flattening season at all

I have seen lodged crops try to stand up 2 or 3 times after multiple storms, they will likely try their best!

 

[texelburger]

Our agronomist called by this afternoon and said there were many reports of Barley going down and several of wheat too..

 

[binbusy]

Quite allot down around here.
imo that's where it's staying till harvest, too top heavy to do anything but.

 

[bobk]

To be fair this is freak weather for June , if it's still standing it won't overly yield.

Mine was still standing at 2 oclock this afternoon but i darent look. Iv got one field of cracking tower barley after a break of beans and oats that im hoping is still upright
