State of your crops?

[casper74]

No rain here all spring crops are desperate for a drink, Winter barley is starting to change colour on light land. Everything looks a lot better than 12 months ago.

Still nothing since 23rd of May here and beet could really do with a drink now! supposed to be some coming over the next few days, hopefully in moderation.

Going to be loads of flat crops if we get a normal summer

 

[robbie]

Very odd, normally at this time of year we(east and south east) are watching in envy as we burn up and the rest of the country is getting nice useful rains but this year were having the luck.

First real rain since end of May this evening. Prob about 2mm so far.

Be nice to get 10mm to help grain fill in wheats and spring barley.

Though spring barley does not want heavy rain and wind….

Yep, although the triticale did have a litre of ccc at tillering.
There's crops about that had the full 9 yards of pgr which look similar.

Usually, if it’s going to be raining anyway it will be here but not spot up to now! Just been having beer and BBQ again.
Forecast was saying rain coming in tonight and all day tomorrow but now says dry tomorrow and only a chance overnight. I’ve stopped worrying about it now to be honest.
