Plenty of yellow spring barley

[bobk]

Round here , presumably the roots hitting the wet shite underneath ?

 

[fudge]

I would presume so.

Rubbish harvest & Land nationisation.

What is the bad news?

 

[Hillside]

How will the barley fare?

 

[Wombat]

some here that looks like its had half a litre of roundup. lots locally starting to go backwards. cold and wet fro much of april with compaction. That inch the last sunday in April just screwed a lot

 

[bobk]

Stick the lot in SFI

Can you use SFI as a rotational option, like setaside?

you could with a 23 agreement and i am doing

not so easy with the new agreements but still kind of possible although maybe not so viable

Spring barley generally not looking to bad here, it’s mainly on lighter ground so taken the rain fairly well. I’d actually go as far as saying it’s looking better than it has for a couple of years now. You can see any bits that aren’t as free draining though but nothing terrible.
I was up in Scotland last weekend and there was some very yellow fields about and not just patches in fact, I’d be doubtful if some makes it to harvest it was going backwards fast!

I redrilled this acre as I have to see it every time I go out the yard. it was stood in water after the inch end of April then no rain for 3 weeks.

now it’s worse than it was before I redrilled. Just been a sh!t wet cold spring

46mm in one day knackered it.

We had 4 inches in one night up here. Roots struggling to grow and absorb nutrients for the plant above that wants grow like fekk but can’t.

Loads of yellow areas in fields now. All concentrated on headriggs and known wet areas. Weird how those BYDV aphids have all landed and infected the plants only on the wet areas…

Plants starting to recover now though. Could just be a storm in a teacup in a few months.

 

[DaveGrohl]

Need to get a drone up to take photos of all our fields, cracking display of drained and badly drained areas.

Same here, just single tillers on plants gone yellow, rest of tillers fine

[Northern territory]

Seen it before. I think it’s more stress related than BYDV
