It’s kind of the season you never want to see again. That’s all I know.
Wheat = mixed yields proteins & hags, late tillers green grains.
Peas no yield or Quality.
S Beet = virus Yellows.
Potatoes = crushed markets due to Covid.
OSR don’t grow It.

Same here, T Hectares.
Got going, at last, on our wheat at 17.5% yesterday only to get 10mm in 10 mins when just starting up again today and the forecast for this week now none too good at all.
So, still averaging 4.75t, so far.

I know someone on here who maybe interested. I’ll pm you.
Anything lying wet here has had zero yield.
Normally, if it's a wet summer we get our barns filled by the bits on the shale, and in a dry summer from the bits on the clay.
This time the clay all failed in the winter, and the shale bits mostly all failed in the spring but with an impressive secondary crop, after the 6" of rain here in June, then coming through in the summer.

....and anything on the clay that survived only had half a root system developed so the dry spell didn't help that either!
Leading to half a yield.
40% of last year here confirmed on WB, 60% on WO, and now starting with 50% on the WW.

Do you think you can venture to South Norfolk.....i'll buy it
not too far from the border!Also it would have to be little bales. Growing seed crops here we don't let other balers on the place so id bale it with my small baler.
Plus I've had 1 pm already so fairs fair I'll see how that goes.

Anyone one else having a problem wheat. Full of green, the actual wheat tests below 15% but secondary tillers and other green mixed in tests 28%! Don't Want to spray off because we want the field for seed.

Yes
It’s painful.
Not sprayed off, Green Tillers a long way off even Gly timing, but the bulk is fit.

So why not spray off green now (ie early) and blow it off the back?

Looking at the weather forecast, I'm minded to get some roundup on.
