So far, so good!
Rogueing mine just now and all still standing at moment but another yellow thunderstorm warning for tonight . Left some areas without the cerone and can see difference.
Really glad I gave the oats a top up with the medax max as even tho it was "hot" , a tram I left unsprayed is a fair bit taller with only getting the first pgr pass.
Do think I have a problem with the new diablo seed I got with possible contamination. There are rogue plants in the row that are a good bit taller and seem to have a purple stripe up the grain . My agronomist said it reminded him of a very tall optic type. Where planet and home saved chronicle used , one feed field has all three varieties, things are much more cleaner/pure looking in planet and chronicle areas . Got the seed rep coming out next week .

Bit of a lean on now after the torrent this afternoon. Hopefully it will only stay as a lean.

Still standing here too. Oats are up to my oxters!
Anyone else got blank heads in spring oats?
Basically nothing formed just a dead white ear. Conway oats.

No just really a white bit on green stem where a grain should be. I'll get a picture when I'm next at them.

No, only got 1 pgr. I'm normally chancing it with pgr but was on in plenty time this year.

Will get agronomist to look at it next week.
Would need to check. Think they used to be white bags with green writting but this year might have been an all green bag .
On the oat thing I got sent a few pictures asking if I have seen this before but have no idea what it is . Anything similar with yours?

I guess many in the south are harvested already but how has everyone’s spring barley beared up to the past weeks weather?
Mines coped well until yesterday. Bits under trees and anything that’s had an overlap of fert on the headlands looking a bit tousled this morning.
So glad I put the Cerone on. Dread to think what it would look like otherwise.
More thunder storms forecast this afternoon though and still a good fortnight until harvest.
