I’m still standing

[Neddy flanders]

Whi

A few river headlands gone down so far and some overlaps in the W barley. Fingers crossed now.

which Barley varieties, Will?

 

[willy]

kws infinity. l

 

[Brisel]

That will be a perfect time to get a combine demonstration done. I hear the new fendt ones are good!

Not much fear of this going down , just brackling.
On my walks near Stamford

You wait and see, you think ah, that looks fine, but the stuff seems to find some growth from somewhere!!

 

[Cropper]

Cassia looking a bit tipsy in places, thankful that nitrogen rate was adjusted down due to the dry weather earlier!

 

[radar]

Agronomist said your call on whether to put some growth reg on Planet S barley as not normally something I would do! Good job I decided on 0.15Lt Moddus as some bits have gone down though not too much.

My winter linseed this morning


View attachment 807772

Bit of dry weather and it will pop back up. Linseed has three bounces in it.

 

[robbie]

Had a drive past some of my cassia yesterday and luckily it's all standing apart from an odd spot where I recon a dollop of poop fell of the spreader.

10 ton/acre pig muck, 135 units N and no pgr!!!! I think I've been lucky.

Nice looking crop. More heavy rain forecast. Let’s hope all our crops survive it.

I’ve got some cassia like that but had 2 lots of canopy on it, still well over waist high.

I've got some kerrin wheat on contract land that isn't standing well

Kerrie looks good after a bit of a yellow rust start, but gravity is starting to test its name

It does look well at home and even over the road it looks well, but it's the only one that's gone down Shabras and gleam look vert promising and Grafton is just being Grafton, can't believe it;s coming off the recommended list

 

[teslacoils]

Yes, I'm shocked that so few new varieties are bred from Grafton. Kws Trinity springs to mind but nothing else. Lili seems equally bomb proof for staying stood though.

 

[Mr Charisma]

With all these good looking pictures of barley crops was £130 odd a ton a good price ???????

 

[PSQ]

Grafton is just being Grafton, can't believe it;s coming off the recommended list

...When so many indistinguishable varieties are allowed through by the AHDB. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and ask what the difference is between GP2's KWS Siskin and KWS Extase (and fwiw KWS Lilli)?.
Apart from untreated yield there's really bugger all difference between the two in their stats to warrant the bluster and BS coming from the trade trying to justify Extase seed at £450/t
https://projectblue.blob.core.windo.... Winter wheat Recommended List 2019-20-1.pdf
... and Extase is the best of the new crop. Plenty of new 'vanilla varieties' that just don't have a niche to justify their existence.

One new candidate in RL trials is KWS Parkin, which is notable for being the only other variety that I know of with a -1 for maturity, same as (KWS) Grafton. If the extra couple of percent yield over Grafton translates from trials to field, then it might be worth a punt, but Graftons niche as a northern entry for OSR should have kept it on the RL. Hats off to Hutchinsons for including both at their Alnwick trials site

 

[snarling bee]

If Extase had OBM resistance it would take over the market.

 

[Brisel]

Extase has the highest septoria resistance rating on the RL. That’s the main point of difference

 

[DRC]

The patches of Gravity that went down in the heavy rain, have actually popped their heads up again. Doing a late ear wash last night, as first opportunity to travel.
