State of your crops?

[teslacoils]

Driving around today, seen:

Some solid looking wheats,
Some iffy looking wheats,
Blackgrass,
Mostly poor spring barley with yellow wet bits,
Peas not enjoying the cold and wind,
Beans that look to have been touched by something recently with very yellow edges,
Lots of what I thought was barley is actually rye!

 

[Wombat]

Everything starting to motor now.

Apart from some Feb wet holes think it’s overall the best look on we have had in a while

Mascani winter oats. I hadn’t been to look at them for a couple of weeks but like everything else the rain has transformed them.

 

[DieselRob]

Lynx beans drilled 25th March direct in to ex stubble turnip land with the sabre tine

They have taken off with all the rain, just need some warmth now as well

Graham wheat.

"Century" ryegrass mix yr2.

I was seriously considering ripping this field up back in February

And this one

Both are jackal and really suffered with the wet winter! However I’m kind of glad I didn’t now as they aren’t looking to bad. They’ll never be a 5 ton crop but with current prices and I’m keeping the inputs cheap should come out ok.

One crop that does seem to be enjoying this wet spell is the canary seed. Best I’ve seen it emerge in the past two years!

A lot of yellow spring barley around here ,

I can’t get on some of my spring barley with mang soon enough! There’s also patchy that look like it’s starting to drown

Please don't say this, had a field on watch list, I wanted to give it another week and partner on contract land ripped it up

More wet feet here

I have a feeling from to many years with arable that the crops are looking ok at this time of the year that they now need sunshine and warmth. What worries me is when if it goes from this weather pattern to a heatwave that they will go through such fast growth stages it may affect harvest results

Made the decision to bang a good dose of N on it and see what happens as it’s not the sort of of land you want to be pulling up in the spring! Up until a couple of weeks ago I didn’t even want to look at it let alone walk through it. Feeling much happier about it now though.

 

[Minesapint]

Think I will lose circa 80 acres of s barley. Sat in water too long now. Gave up winter cropping it 7 years ago, and seems spring cropping a waste of time as well. Ditches just can’t flow into the Thames as it is so silted up. Frustrating.

Pleased with winter crops after the rain. Just need some warm sunshine now.

Your cereals look fantastic as always. My maize is still in the bag, which is looking like the best place at the moment.

I am beginning to think your right with the maize. Fingers x for a sudden warm spell.
