I left my sprayer measuring jug out the last time I used it which was last Monday, its a standard 2l one and it's half full! So I'm not surprised.137.8mm of rain over last 8 days here another washout
Land is still walking really well though.

'Only' 112mm here, thank goodness, but still rather too much.137.8mm of rain over last 8 days here another washout

Do you foresee a bigger yield effect on what's been done already or on what there's still to do?
Here in my part of Yorkshire it is raining every day, im starting to get worried about getting drilled up this autumn again .Hows everyone else doing ?
That's a good call for your Extase, at least.I haven’t drilled any cereals yet
That's a good call for your Extase, at least.
Here, Graham, Exsept and Diego drilled in absolutely perfect conditions, but now all hopelessly waterlogged.
The 10% still to do with Extase should bring our average yield up by at least 30%.
Great Photo That’s worthy of a magazine front cover.bit more in yesterday shower dodging, 10 mm overnight so spraying today, rainfall totals starting to add up now so want the rest in ASAP now

Dont worry about it .There wont be a loss on it !!! A dry week coming and it will all be through.Well sadly the crops I drilled about 10 days ago in bone dry ploughed and powerharrowed land are now sitting in porridge after 3.5 inches rain. Barley emerging. Wheat has a shoot but not emerged. I hope it does emerge but it’s certainly not having an easy time of and preem not applied yet as darent risk it and would have made a mess.
My neighbour has a cover crop in most of his stubbles. Looks like oil radish.
Personally I’m running out of answers and patience with autumn drilling. But at least it was seed off the heap and half the preem chems are still in the shed. Maybe it will be OK but it looks a bit iffy from where I’m standing.
Congratulations upon banking on the prospect of a dry October.Will make a start tomorrow and if the weather holds fair a week will get a lot done ....
