The land I've taken would be gravelly like that a bit. Works well in a wet year
Just the wrong year I guess.
I don’t know why people are hiring land without irrigation? They must be desperate for acres!

Too dry hereFirst bit of Fazor this morning. Performer and Agria.
Too dry here
NoneNo irrigation?
None
This secondary growth thing is a bit of a worry, this potato was on a root in the middle of the field

And these have been irrigated every week. It was dry as a bone though.
@Fubar did you fazor yours?
You should have plenty of seed out of your own this year surely?Thanks @Hindsight , your right I should be thankful. There will be a fairly decent crop on there come harvest time. There were a few others which had smaller growths on. I fazored them this wk so maybe that will stop them a bit?
My piper are along way behind even with water. They just seem so poor compared to the new chipping varieties. I may well drop them next year. Seed and price depending!

Should be ok if you buying decent seedWe never plant out of our previous crop. Too much disease I think.
Looks OK to me. Just be thankful there are tubers worth harvesting. If you can go dig a few roots in a non irrigated crop of Piper for comparison. And these non-irrigated crops are visibly beginning to senesce. South Lincs the rain July 28-29 (20-25mm) was insufficient to maintain canopy and encourage some new growth. Prospects poor.
Wouldn't recommend trying to save seed from a crop treated with fazor. Doubt it would grow very well! Sprout suppressant with only anecdotal evidence that it does anything against secondary growth.
Of courise not but don't fazor the ones your keeping the seed out of! I only fazor enough to sell in June and JulyWouldn't recommend trying to save seed from a crop treated with fazor.
