10mm last night will really help crops here
Snap. Would say we've had ideal amounts of rain recently since the rather wet winter ended.

They look well on little rain Clive.Raining nicely now - 5mm so far overnight

rain today
A positive post
I ended up having to put some pyrethroid on 8ha out of my 26ha. It just wouldn’t get away from the little sods on the driest clay field. Hopefully now it might as I sprayed yesterday and now we’ve had 6mm rain and a dull day instead of the sunny warm dry days!We dont need a lot. Just enough to stop the top cracking faster than the roots going down.
Linseed has finally got away from the beetle and is now roaring away.
Slightly off topic but does anyone else find propino downs tools as soon as the going gets a bit rough? Never find it as tough as Tipple which I would still be growing but you have to move with the maltsters. I guess Planet is what I will move on to next, anybody got some side by side to compare? Is it any tougher? Or are there any others I should be considering?
No, thought we'd grow it and see what we end up with. If everyone's Propino is rubbish, the maltsters/distillers might have to buy our Irina.Have you got an end market for your Irina? We have also switched from Propino to Irina but have since been told it might not be so easy to market as Propino/Planet. Does look good so far and better recommended list scores than Propino so hopefully it will be worth something once harvested.
looks like the storms are going to go around us tomorrow.
