[David.]

Ordered CYO visit the other day.

 

[Wombat]

0%, need the seed dressing first

Started on some barley tonight. Heard of big estate nearby, all drilled up with wheat. My agronomist wanted me to wait a week, but as a one man band, I thought I'd make a start, but most of my wheat follows maize and spuds which are still to harvest.

 

[Adeptandy]

Seed turns up tomorrow, but will sit in the shed for a couple of weeks

 

[APJ]

No rush here, October start I think! Agronomist is against an early start this year, suits me!

Jason has got the bug about not starting too early. Let's hope it doesn't turn wet suddenly, or my heavy ground will soon become hard work.

Was due to start this week but wet now. Been dressing seed so ready when it comes back nice.

Think he right tho got to watch these Grass weeds, nice to have some time to sort fields out, only got 50ac of heavy ground to drill with wheat rest in osr and stubble turnips, got the easy ground to drill this Autumn!

 

[SilliamWhale]

Probably do wheat next week and barley in october. Playing chicken with the barley drilling because I want the brome to germinate even though barley always seems to do better if well established earlier on

Then it will rain for 6 months

 

[Tompkins]

None so far, might stick some barley in this week, wheat won't be for a fortnight.

 

[Brisel]

0% but will go as soon as it stops raining long enough for my clay to dry out enough to DD. Only 700 AC to sow with a 6m drill.

0%. Barely any rain since the start of harvest = no chit of grasses. Most wheat on lighter land this autumn so will just have to be patient ⛈

 

[Darren]

32mm of rain since Friday. Soon as it dries up the Rye will be going in. Supposed to be waiting a couple more weeks to get a good chit on the heavier, wetter that looks like it's never going to dry up stuff. So it could be April 2017.

 

[nick...]

I hope to start barley before end of the week.46mm rain last Friday so still moist.

[Heathland]

0% here,seed was dressed at the weekend,ploughing+pressing the heath,will start when that's finished.
All heavy land worked into stale seed beds just will need spraying off in October,quick pass with the p/h and drill.
As long as I'm drilled up by the clocks change I'll be happy.

 

[Fish]

25% , will hit 50% by the weekend.
Aim to be out of the gate of the last field before October if poss.

It's a brave man that sits on his hands until October round here.

I was going to start this week with the LEEDS wheat but as I am going to the J/D event at Langar on Saturday I probably will leave it till sunday as something is bound to go wrong and end up working all day on Saturday instead
