Nitrogen!
Yep, and a poor seedbed.
After carrots has had 180kg N, 120kg after the oats.
Will give it a run with irrigator tomorrow and see if that perks it up a bit.
Try to succeed

Anyone got any peas? Not the weather that’s holding ours back now, it’s the bl**dy pigeons.

6mm over the weekend has really perked my Waggon SB up
We need rain here again

Takes us to 31mm since first of may
Mine is the same but not from cold nights just N still sitting on top and not washed in.
Came up looking great and then got the bulk of its N. Hardly a drop of rain since and now looks terrible and very manganese deficient . Been holding off herbicides to give it a chance and not stress it more but considering just spraying it the once as late as possible and shutting the gate until harvest and just seeing what I get .
Worst are a few fields I used urea in , it got a bit more N than where I used extran but looks so hungry and stressed it's hellish.

Not clicking like, but if was “would like “ I would for the rain!
Same with me.
Just in from doing T1 in spring barleys. Even this early on i’m certain it will be back at least 0.5t/acre on average for past 5 years.
Nothing sown until 20th April on but all into good seedbeds. Plenty plants but just hasn't tillered like normal. Only decent fields are those that got dung this year or last.
I’d imagine those with grain & Fert drills will be seeing a big benefit from them this year.

Yes 30 Hectares of sakura. Look as good at the moment as they have done for many years. Got 8 gas guns out, numerous kites and flags. moving them about every 3 days and just about keeping pigeons off but having said that we have a persistent group of a hundred or so that keeping dropping in on the headlands and all we seem to do is push them off one bit and onto another headland. I keep meaning to take a gun down with a few decoys and have a go at them. Don't seem to have the time, always moving gas guns and flags!
Have a shoot up!
