That’s a very light field, especially on the bank. Normally grow maize and barley on it, but had the seed and put it in after maize 1st Nov. Wet winter suited it and last weeks rain has saved most of it .

Lovely too see in such an iffy year right across the UK, Rain nearly drowned my single 18ac field.
But its made quite a recovery
After @teslacoils mentioning Gleam and yellow rust, I thought I’d better go for a look tonight .

Did I? Can't remember it being bad for it. Bennington was but cleaned up with a sniff of epoxi (rip) and yielded well. I like Gleam. I hope it's not gone to shiyte.
Yes here

Aha. I have gleam in the shed, and while your Costello looks ace I think I will just try a bit. Gleam is early and as I'm going to wap chemical all over it anyway a bit of rust won't make much difference here.
I love Costello. It weighs ridiculous amounts.

My best be is still always Grafton. Best delivered in was 83.

I think the bulk of the forum look at SF's crops with quite some envy: the wonders of manure and decent rotation.
We had some Costello go in at 83 last year. It’s really great stuff. Doesn’t lose quality. We can get £8/t premium on it aswell
Does nodurum sap yield like tritici and will the same chemistry control it?
Thanks

What’s the premium for? (I’m a big fan of Costello it’s replaced JBD for us)
It goes through the clean wheat plant at Camgrain to go to nestle I think. 4 varieties are eligible Siskin, Costello (what we grow) and Santiago/JV Diego, I think gleam is nearing approval.
Once it's on the glumes it can be very damaging indeed, particularly to specific weight.
No prizes for guessing which material was the best preventative.

Bennington has always done really well in our trials when kept clean but is susceptible to yellow rust now. He is starting to take yellow rust in some parts of the country and is best regarded as a second wheat and drilled in that later slot.
Yes, we've had yellow rust here on Bennington this time, first wheat drilled 24th October, which is a bit later than we would wish to go again for first or second.
Big shame this because Bennington's probably much better against septoria nodorum than anything else except Exsept.

Bennington was nice. Main problem was that those wanting G4 softs wouldn't take Bennington for some reason.
