How are your crops looking ?

Belepi is turning fast now, might have to get the combine out for its service now I have filled in the new drains running across the door to its shed I recon 3 weeks and that might be gone. Leeds is a good 5+ weeks away and skyfall in the middle somewhere. Thinks have really turned fast with that bit of heat last week.

Went and poked some skyfall. Sad to see a fair few hard and shrivelled grains, but plenty of plump fat ones filling up. Might be a fair few screenings about. Probably got 60% of the flag leaf left dark green.

Its not a good thing but I could see myself having a nibble at forward fields of spring barley and winter wheat at the end of next week. Hand rub samples look pretty rubbish.......

We finished some barley on away land yesterday and we're very tempted to cit the belepi next to it today while we were there, in the end we didn't because we wanted to cut the last bit of barley at home before any rain but it was fit and rubbed out easily. If we don't get any rain tonight we may cut a field at the back if the yard to give us Room for the artics when we cart straw Home.

I dont think it's going To be very exciting, what I rubbed out is very pinched.

barley would cut but not ready, straw nodules still green and wheat is a fortnight at least off, have rubbed some out and reasonably happy as usually rubbing out shows a poorer sample than you actually end up with

Wheat is thick enough but filling up with fusarium fast with this constant showery weather. Still a month away so sunshine could save it yet. Just no great sun anywhere in the forecast. One field is full of volunteer oats where Broadway star suppressed them until two weeks ago.

Just finished roguing today and really disappointed to find so much fusarium in wheats. Been really clean all season and flags still green as leeks but loads of fusarium on head.
Last July was even wetter than this one but record yield and bushel weights but not looking great on that front at all this time

Spring barleys looking much better though and hopefully all the rain this past month will make it a low N year.
