[QUOTE="Spud, post: 5197322, member: 78"] In the same Vale here as [USER=1021]@jon9000[/USER] & [USER=1561]@Yorkshire lad[/USER], and I concurr, it wont be owt flash this year! W Wheat - some very good, some bloody awful - guess 0.5t/ac down on average (light land after beans and spuds looking best, the bit of heavier stuff we did get sown, traditionally the best wheat land here, will do well to hit 3t/ac S wheat - direct drilled on heavy land originally destined for winter wheat - looks ok mostly, bar one field. wont break any records W barley - pretty much as normal, though its all on light land, it ought to be ok S barley - ok but will be 20% at least down on revenue, its very short, and thin in more bodied areas. Ploughed and sown after sugar beet. S oats - direct drilled on heavy land - look much better after cover crop than not - very variable this year, 10% down best guess W beans - sown on lighter land destined for spring beans originally, too wet at establishment, moderate crop, 1.2t/ac if I'm very lucky! S beans - sown where winter beans should be - moderate to crap to failure. Knocked out 10ac that was very very thin and full of brome, blackgrass and redshank No OSR here, but variable locally, topside crops look better than those on low land. Beet & taties look ok to press, though ready for rain [/QUOTE]
