Spring barley in particular is not a patch on last years crops.
The extremes of weather and heavy soil not a good recipe.

You do not specify variety in any of your 4 pics (3rd one looks different to the 1st).
We've got substantial yellow tipping on the flag leaves of Graham but not (so far!) on Extase or Exsept.

Is that disease or just varietal????
I saw a lot of fields like that down west last week.
Could some of it be mg deficiency, some of the flag leaves look to have intervainal chlorosis unless it's just the light.

The sunnier it is, the more flowers there seems to be
This field of Direct drilled Barley looked horrible all winter . All you could see was the previous year’s wheat stubble. Nothing much wrong with it now apart from the fact it should have had more PGR.
On to checking the Deer this afternoon. Some calves enjoying a Sunday afternoon nap.
Some hiding with Mum in the hedges
Two of the Stags looking handsome with their Antlers growing well.
Seeing that a lot too, doesn’t seem to be variatal, a lot of tissue tests coming back low in mg

Your crops are a credit to you Jerry.
Must be good soil in the Exe Valley. I’m sure @gone up the hill would agree .
