Getting concerned

With a such a poor Autumn and little winter cereals planted, harvest 2020 will see a much lower total cereal tonnage?
Will this actually help the barley price?? Despite the predicted large spring barley acreage.
Or wishful thinking?

Got a quote for some Spring Wheat, made me sad.

What was it ?

More what I was getting at was will the lower wheat tonnage help the demand for barley??

Surely historically - and I haven't done the research - wheat and barley prices are relative of one another?

Set into heavy rain here in past half hour, checked gauge 2mm and now falling heavily . Driven me in from sawing wood.

We started a new field yesterday light silt, what a pain. .7 K to 1.5 K. Trailers sinking 6”. The slight clay content in parts & you can’t get it to feed in. No irrigation in season.
Then it rained last night, enough to carry the mud onto road. Another shower tonight.
It’s driving us nuts.

Today changing my planting plan C, after having annulled the A and the B because of the excess rainfall in my area and thinking about leaving enough surface to plant sunflower in the spring of 2020, looking for early cycle sunflower varieties I have found only one with a very early cycle. That variety of extra early sunflower is "ES BALTIC" of the brand Euralis Semillas.
This variety is registered precisely in the UK, I put it here in case someone can serve this option

how much rain have you had in comparison to your norm?

Here from September 1 to today 272 mm have fallen. The terrain is saturated and does not have the depth that I see in the photos of the English fields.
Normal would be 150 mm. It has also snowed and the snow water wets more. 50km further south if they are sowing correctly.
I am 150 km from the Atlantic of the city of Santander
