Maybe, but i'm sure i could have managed... if only i had had a first wheat slot available.
Good job silverfox. You can stop with the photos now.

Honestly, my wife passed me just as i brought the photo up and exclaimed "Wow..is that in England? "
She is great at the moral support thing.

That’s only one field . To make everyone feel better I’ve got quite a bit like this Gleam. On heavy land that would’ve been better not drilled. I was trying to let water off yesterday on a bit that I’ve never seen flood before .

Youre human after all SF!

Old faithful jb Diego is looking good here again this year, not that itll say looking good for long it will soon go scruffy like it always does.

 

[Renaultman]

Should we do a wheat glamour thing.
Costello, sexy as owt doesn't fulfil its promise IMHO
Kerrin. Like a snotty nosed kid, always looks like it's about to come down with something, so far better than promised
Grafton. Always looks well till just before harvest, then you end up looking at this thin crop on skinny straw. Amazingly, it stands, stays in the ear then yields. In my experience.

Jb Diego the rough looking bird when you arrive at the disco and the sort you dont want your mates to see you chatting up but by 2am you take her home and shes a good sport who delivers the goods.[emoji848]??

Skyfall : Reliable without spending too much money. Reluctant to go down.

 

[Ladybird]

Difficult year to make comparisons as it’s depended on how wet the field has been .
My best at the moment is Costello drilled after maize on a dry field . Only had some manganese up to now. No herbicide or fungicide yet .View attachment 870946View attachment 870947

This looks well

I have had stonking crops of skyfall that were so tall and bold an arable farmer would be very very frightened of it. Always stood up.

JB Diego never let me down either.

Santiago, now there is a variety that can yield its socks off but in the South West it always wants to try and catch your pants down.

Went for a walk through our extase this afternoon, not looking too shabby.

C2 Grafton on the left, C2 Extase on the right.
Neither of them look too happy to have been planted on the 23rd October ahead of 4 solid months of water-logging.
It had its T0 2 days prior to the photo, the Hatra (Atlantis) might have knocked it a bit.

Very little difference between them. My October drilled Grafton, after grass, looks quite well and I am pleased by how strong the plants look. How drought resistant they are, I think we are about to find out.

Ours was sown on the 24/10 after spring oats, has been under water more times than I care to count, it’s on river land but very easy working loams, I’m amazed how well it looks.

I must add the sprayer has been nowhere near it yet either, very little weed in it and clean as a whistle disease wise.

 

[David.]

I like Costello, never had 83kg bushel before.
That said, ours is 2nd wheat on poor land this year...

I haven’t T0 anything . It’s been dry for a month and everything looks clean , so don’t see the point

The sprayer was doing Mn, Hatra/Biopower and Optica anyway. Adding 50g/ha of Epoxi wasn't going to break the bank (£6.25) and on the seriously thin 'well aired' bits it might just be the last input it gets.

Leaf 2 pushing out on my Extase
All looking very clean, currently on a 14 day CTL only regime.

 

[Trying]

This was mine tonight didn’t dissect it quite like yours. But 4” from ear to root. It’s got a lot of work to do to be booting 3rd week in may. I have cordiale as well that’s the normal booting time for that.

 

[Trying]

This is the worst but I have. It’s on sand on a hill. Only stand a foot tall. I’m now not going to go with last shortener. Can’t see it being over 2’6”.

 

[bankrupt]

now not going to go with last shortener.

Same here.

Spent this am going through our recently updated list of fixed assets hoping to find an item or three of no immediate practical use to us which we can now flog off.

Anyone here need a grain dozer?
