About 10 days away?

Depends on how much sun we get, massive amount of straw so still green in the bottom, 14 days I reckon atleast

2nd week of July looking how things are going off here.

We're still aiming at 10th July.

Might go up to a week earlier because the blue clay patches here which, whilst usually adding greatly to yields in a drought, are a total failure this time due to that 215mm in March.

Probably start whole-crop rye in the next 10 days, winter barley at least 2-3 weeks off depending on if it comes hot again.
Started cut winter barley on the 30th of June back in 2018 but won’t be that early this year thankfully.

Hybrid Rye for AD was all done here today .
3 days earlier than last year and I was informed it was yielding well at 35%DM.

Same here, but probably at least 10 days to a couple of weeks off winter barley every though it look ready.
Starting whole crop rye on Wednesday.

Pea Viners were going on the hill just outside Lincoln last night.

Some winter barley with heads well over and looking a lovely colour this morning, Bedford way. Tramlines still green. Didn’t look like it would take a thunderstorm too well.

 

[APJ]

Our winter barleys will easily cut first week of July, just need to even up now.

There will probably be one place near Thetford cutting 100 yards for the Eastern Daily press "look we've started" award.
