[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7391613, member: 54866"] Fair play to you, all the times I have seen spring wheat later than about the middle of March around here it has been poor- the dry weather sets in and you just see it staggering from one growth stage to the next. Done earlier, the root system is a lot more extensive and it seems better able to deal with dry summer months? This is why I always said to customers you need to be getting on with it and the old hands used to chuckle that I had customers who rarely, if ever, got it drilled in February. I agree it needs a high seed rate and a sensible N and fungicide regime, it's not a one spray wonder like spring barley. Done right, it used to grow serious yields of wholecrop for some people.
