6.5mm here last night. Pleased to see it too.
Still a couple of fields of wheat to finish plus some of the spring barley second splits. Been held up by hot dry windy weather. Great for crop growth but not so good for applying liquid N!
I cannot quite understand the black and white nature of the solid liquid debate, it is all fertiliser! If the judgement is that crops need an application in May I honestly don't think UAN products are the way to go.

True. The aim has always been to finish the main N programme in April but life doesn't seem to work out like that.
My philosophy with liquid N now is if leaf 3 is coming out just get it on, even if you expect to scorch leaf 4 while you’re doing it. At least you know it’s on and you’re not fretting about scorching on of your major yield building leaves.I think there will be a lot of people putting liquid N on with the flag leaf well out which I assume is not ideal.
final split will go on here ASAP now
just finishing t1's today
I swear the rest of the UK must be 2 weeks ahead of our crops reading posts on here this year !
Flag leaf is emerging here!
Poking out here on main tiller tooFlag leaf is emerging here!
It is here on forward Graham. Rushed to get N3 on it but still the rest to do! Have you still to do N3? Concerns me does liquid and flag leaf emerging!
Is this normal time for flag leaf emergence for your forward wheat?
I keep reading of this late harvest approaching, but don't see it with winter crops. Spring crops are behind at the moment as they have just been sown in this area, but every chance to catch up a bit.
