[QUOTE="Northernlights, post: 5197970, member: 81490"] From being 2 weeks behind with crop and grass growth stages in mid April we are now 2 weeks ahead in mid June. All plants went into survival mode when soil moisture deficits began to bite .Seed production was set and prioritised ahead of vegetative growth before lack of moisture started to kill the plants. I believe we need 5 inches of rain in this area to bring the soil up to field capacity.Pretty certain straw and grain yields will be down and if we now get a lot of rain there will be a lot of second growth and poor samples will result at harvest so maybe best if it stays dry and we get an early harvest.
