Getting dry

[Steevo]

Set to rain most of tonight too by the look of it.

 

[Wombat]

Bit of a light shower concrete not even damp, few local jubilee events cancelled due to the thunderstorm warning which has now been cancelled.

 

[Adeptandy]

Finally got some rain, 22mm through the gauge, hopefully will boost the WW & WB, probably to late for the struggling S Barley and redrilled S Beans

 

[Steevo]

Just need some sunshine to fill the grains now!

 

[Iben]

Nothing here, maybe some end of week.

 

[snarling bee]

Had 35mm in the last week, so fairly happy. (17mm last night). Just need some sun now.
Looks like the midlands had lots last night and this morning.

 

[teslacoils]

Don't seem to have had lots. Heavy at around 6am to 8am. Light drizzle just started again.

 

[Chuckie]

Could really do with a dry week soon

 

[Spencer]

Just going hoping Metcheck is wrong and “Monsoon June” doesn’t set in....

 

[Chae1]

Fantastic day here again.

Rain forecast Wednesday.

We've had near perfect growing conditions since spring.

Bound to go all to hell soon.

 

[Wombat]

It is like bloody October today, at a jubilee event and it’s 12deg, north wind, interspersed with showers

Our winter barley on sand is an abomination. No proper rain in April, no proper rain in May. Came out of winter with plenty of potential, been grim to witness. Our spring barley might out yield it.

 

[copse]

35 mm so far today

 

[teslacoils]

Not masses. And 9 degrees out of the wind. Brrr. Due some shorts weather.

 

[BRBX]

20mm here , do some good probably a bit late for some of lighter land

As said before, my issues are Resistant Ryegrass, and increasingly Sterile brome. I have a direct drill coming this year to move away from min till but have also got land let for potatoes and one field in winter beans that has major issues with resistant Ryegrass, the potato land has obviously been ploughed but I am very seriously tempted to plough the one after beans. It will break my heart, especially with fuel prices the way they are, but we did it 2 winters ago on a contract field with very good results.

Is the ryegrass antlantis resistant
Plant a spring crop after a winter cover then winter wheat for 2024

5 reels running on spuds in Perthshire at the moment, should be up to 8 tomorrow, parts delivery allowing. Not super dry yet but our land is only ever a week from soaking to drought. Got some useful bits and pieces last week between 3 and 12mm in various locations, just enough to keep the cereals going but could do with 15mm+ end of the week as the Istabraq is starting to have that leaf rolling look.
