[QUOTE="idle git, post: 7843080, member: 158444"] This time last year almost to the day I was walking a field of wheat which was drilled with previous years skyfall dressed with latitude. Agronomist said that if it was a few weeks earlier and as it was a very poor germination and that volunteer spring barley was abundant he would recommend spraying of with glypho and redrilling but as the weather had changed we will have to live with it. I generally avoided the 27 acres because it wasn't good for my health. Nephew put a bit of early N on it to try and get it moving but it was just happy being a awful looking crop even getting a bad covering of yellow rust forcing me in with a T0 which didn't please me having to spend on it.. April didn't improve it due to being dry and frosty. But skip a couple of months and nephew came out of the field having given it a cheap T2 and told me that it had really improved so when it came to a T3 I forced myself into the sprayer and I was really surprised at how well it looked, yes there were 2 crops there, a mixture of S Barley and W Wheat but we had already decided that it would be destined to feed the cattle. A few weeks later saw me hooking the header on and straight away we could see it wasn't going to be the disaster that we had thought Estimated yield was 103 tons of the 27 acres, about 25 % S Barley and 75%Wheat Icing on the cake was we sold it a month ago for £212 as per sample [/QUOTE]
