all done once round here today and yesterday apart l from w.barley ( land too soft)i I just dont trust the forecasts anymore
this year the crops following poor rape crops last year ( plenty of residual n ) look brighter green
than crops after a low nitrogen break
How much n was washed away from a sub 2 tonne per ha rape crop cultivated to 200 mm this winter if the wheat crop following was planted in late OctoberI was thinking just this as I drove to get the child some school work - the best looking wheat all after the crappiest looking osr.
These pics are upsetting. If I put all the green material on my 18 fields (300 acres) into a similar area, the GAI won't come anywhere that on those pics!No rush to put N on this wheat after WOSR.
It’s ticking along nicely.

Upsetting me too, radar.These pics are upsetting.
Only me as I'm still waiting for my new spreaderFirst bit of N+so3 on the winter barley finished yesterday. (Orwell)

Giving the wheat a bit now, although it’s not looking to bad. (Lilli)

This part of this field flooded last year and had nothing on it, look a lot more promising this year. (Lili)

Trouble round here is, if I wait for it to warm up before getting anything on there’s a strong possibility it will be too wet to travel again and everything would be looking hungry. Everything has definitely moved a bit over the last week though, some dry sunny days have definitely helped. Best part of an extra hour of sun past few days.Not really growing away in the cold.

I could see any of the AN I spread yesterday but we did get a light fog this morning.as daft as it sounds I, even though we have some land destined for sp cropping yet to cultivate could do with a shower to wash in the N plus sulphur in ,Im beginning to think i should have gone straight N it would have melted in on the fog/mist
After the disappointment of last year and a lapse in memory from about 35years ago and the knock on effects to this year I will never ever ever patch a crop up again ,a pointless and foolish adventure for me, as grandad said first loss is best lossThings at a bit of a standstill here. My winter wheat is fully emerged and now at 2 leaf but just looks generally crap. Cold and very dull with drizzle and mist. Ripped up some wheat stubbles for beet so that they dry/weather a bit. Some stickier patches too wet really but most of the field lighter and worked OK. Patching up winter wheat with spring wheat soon I hope. Another bodge year. Got 50 acres to plough for spring barley ex beet and wheat. Been sorting drains out on it. Give it a day or two and it should plough nicely now that the drains are sorted.
