Update picture -

It’s not far behind the rest of my winter barley to be fair.
It’s had -

0.5L Clayton Sabre XL (post em)
3.5kg/ha mang sulphate

172kg of N (138 units)
125kg/ha polysulphate

0.5L siltra
1L Arizona
0.75L Terpal

Just needs sun and water now.

Didn't skimp on the N then!

Cheap N compared to today’s prices but have cut back a little bit though usually give winter barley 175 kg

Ahhh cunning plan. Those 3kg less will stop it lodging.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to weigh the straw

Just not committed to this precision farming lark are you…..

Definitely looks worth it from here … probably a really good margin in that crop!

Ok, so the results are in
4.5ac 13.63t @ 11.3% moisture, over the Weighbridge gives a grand total of 3.03t/ac. Lack of moisture has knocked it slightly but happy with the results considering that the variety (Orwell) hasn’t been a big yielder for us this you (Valerie done much better) and it was late drilled/very low input.


In case anyone wants to check my maths
