Crusoe has averaged a disappointing 8.5 t/ha, but all meets milling spec, so hopefully will get a healthy premium.

Winter barley and wheat all sold and collected
barley 7.4 ton / ha . Let down by one poor field
wheat an amazing for us, 9.4 ton / ha average, despite a serious reduction in fertiliser, one field of sand/ gravel and one field drilled in Nov after beet .
A very pleasing last harvest

Water reserves now going down even faster than Sterling.

Both bullish for 2023 wheat prices, and for 2023 yields in most of Devon and Cornwall.

How many units of N did you use on that spring barley out of interest?

Do you find Diablo is low germination a lot?

Samples varied from 94 to 98 so may be worth risking some loads sold a chunk of it months ago for feed at 275 so probably just going to hold and sell for feed, is also good enough germ for home saving
I grow Diablo. It yields well but I do find it a quirky one . Only skinning bother we have ever had is with Diablo and last year the stuff I kept for home saved seed , so grown from new seed with no harvest round up was mid 80s germ , while I had malting stuff going mid winter with no problems .
So strip till didn't work for you
All drilled on the same day at the same seed rate? Any deep cultivations on the control plots? I'm not having a go at you, just checking you are comparing like with like.
bean field had knight press over it , combo drilled half which had legs inSo strip till didn't work for you

it’s maybe best field on farm nice loamy stuff
beet field had shzkerstor at 14 inch deep and combo
other had strip drill . headlands had two leg subsoiler where harvester wheels ran then 5 mm rain next day
both had 40 mm water in may june
did lightest end which is about72 m next to road left reel as did not need it and pulled it out again and gave it another inch week after
not knocking it
have gathered up some scrap what is getting modified this winter to make a strip drill, will make it work
but the lighter stony old shite goes like concrete unless you get some sort of leg through it
but choppin straw and some st and sheep and mustard radish is slowly working
then you put destoner through it and back to startSilliamWhale

If your growing spuds don't bother about it.
50 on some and 80 on some. 50 following fodder rape grazed by sheep
All made malting grade. Between 1.3N and 1.65

impressive yields on such little N
