Skyfall

[David.]

My Skyfall is really disappointing. It's never let me down but it's averaging about 3.2 t acre which is annoying.

Not sure about it next year now

Maybe 3.2 ton is okay for this year.
I've not cut anything better yet.

 

[No wot]

What are thoughts on a good replacement for Skyfall , on light ground it's been fairly good here over the yrs

 

[principal skinner]

Skyfall has yet again done me well, good job too as I was 100% skyfall over 200ha.

Replacement wise I’ve no idea if you want a GP1

Always found skyfall flattered to deceive. Looked bloody brilliant but always dissapointed, where as Gleam always wintees badly but performs exceptionally.

 

[MrNoo]

Did ok here although we dont have the strongest ground but it does suit the various soil types we have, 82 bushel and protein was 13.2, yielded around 3.5 which for us is around average. I will stick with it for next year but what to replace it with. My agro talks highly of Extase and another chap I know rates his Zyatt

Last year for Skyfall here, can never get it off soon enough to keep the hagberg, had a bit sprit in the ears this time as well due to the prolonged wet period! Yield wise, worst field did 3.5t/ac best 4.1t/ac not had chance to work out the average over the acreage but think it will be around 3.7-3.8 ish so not complaining about that but may as well grow better yielding feed varieties and forget about the milling.

 

[Badshot]

Skyfall has been very solid here.
Crusoe slightly better and holds quality longer.
Will grow both again.

Maybe but we've had good weather down here generally

120 acres of Skyfall none of it would have topped 70 cwt looked promising but didn't deliver.

All your Eggs in One Baskets is a good saying, I advise always grow a good mix of varieties "obviously in the same grouping, (at least 3-4 varieties)

With only 120 acre to the crop and limited storage it just seemed a wise move

Same here thought it was going to blow the Graham out of the water but turned out to be the other way .Heard good things locally about Gleam .Costello on second wheats this year instead of Diego but to be honest don’t think it was any better.Always liked Claire which was bred from Wasp a consistent performer here for many a year.

Combine saying ‘I’m a bit warm, I’d better slow down a bit’……..

No, that will chop straw all day like that and not budge.

 

[Hjwise]

My Dominator used to hover just under the red all day even blowing the rad out every day, whereas my Commander 228 stays below halfway with a blow out at the beginning of harvest.

Mine needs attention , but haven't the time presently

It running a bit warm old chap , probably due to the engagement of straw chopper .
