Hey, it’s early January and it’s -5 degrees tonight, isn’t it about time for people to...

I can't see the tramlines under the snow here & the ground isn't frozen hard. There's no way we'd travel even if I were daft enough to be out.

Changed days from the south coast, you are a bit closer to the moon here.

I'm not farming boy's land any more! I'll bet after years of DD you can walk across that in your slippers without getting them muddy. You're also 300 miles south of me now.

Doing untold damage to the wheat and not even rolling the stones in!
Couldn't even pick any today when out fert spreading, frozen in solid!

All wheat had first dose of nitrogen yesterday and today. Couple of winter oat fields got a sniff as well that went in later just to help them along. Missed most of the rugby but after last weeks display against Scotland wasn't overly worried! No osr or winter barley.

Yes very windy here too. Neighbour popped a bit on yesterday , but not convinced yet .

Would liquid fert be ok on barley in the frost

Too much snow cover here I think

 

[JCfarmer]

A bit blustery here but not bad enough to stop me spreading,24m tramlines and didn't go above 14km. Winds up now though.

Rolled most of our cover crops on the -7/-8s a few weeks ago, all stone dead now, including the weeds + its exposed all the small grass weeds.

The cold winds look to have done the knee high oats. All the stubble is visible and most of the previously yellow greenery has broken down. Will see what regrows.

With temperatures rising and predicted to be mid teens by the weekend I'm going to try and get 1cwt of urea onto everything this week. I would have gone sooner but went from frozen solid with snow cover to blowing a gale to 15mm of rain last night and this week isn't looking brilliant but hopefully it'll go in a day or two.

Did our 2nd wheat and and frit fly damaged triticale on Friday with the hope what’s left might put a few tillers out.

Got 60 kgN/ha into all cereals yesterday and today. Travelled really well and on the whole is looking well apart from an odd headland wheel mark or to in the corners.
