How much more will be too much, locally, MrNoo?
Got to the stage here now when anything at all will only threaten the up-coming record-breaking early harvest, this year's most likely remaining claim to fame.
Spring crops really struggling

The ground is still pretty dry, did notice water laying in the tram lines in places, could take another 20mm I would think, crops seemed to have held on well. I see they forecast between 70-80mm over this w-end for our area re thunderstorms, that would be too much but we'll see how we go. Still got the floatations on the sprayer!!How much more will be too much, locally, MrNoo?

I've got all new mole expanders on the mole plough, ready for mole-ploughing the fallow and for mole-draining the EFA, and now it's got too dry to pull a decent mole!

Tell us more about this please!
Its 3 acres of permanant pasture i just drilled some leftover barley seed into it to see what happens. Grazed it to the ground with sheep, drilled it on the 13th of this month and grazed it after for 6 days then pulled the sheep out. Not sure how it will work would have prefered oats or something a bit more vigorous but im hoping it will make an ok wholecrop. Ive tried 9 acres into a sprayed off field and another 4 into a field that was sprayed after drilling too to see how both work. I know everyone says you shouldnt put cereals into grass but...

Propino vs planet

That's what I wanted to see. Reinforces my impressions. I would say however on my kinder fields the Propino has picked up a lot.
My spring barley is just about in the rows .
Im pleased we didnt drill the last block of spring barley - otherwise it would only have seen about 3mm of rain before todays 7mm. Last 20ac of oats arent looking too pretty either.

I have about 14acres of spring barley that are ok ish and 3 that are really bad
looking good.
I'd say it is roughly 14 days behind a normal year's growth stage. But probably drilled more than two weeks later. Ahead I think of last years, but that was so patchy emergence I dont want to think about it again. Only just finished cleaning the damned stuff.

Spring oats. Undersown, will end up as wholecrop.
