[QUOTE="Secret Agronomist, post: 7345316, member: 153120"] That is the goal, in reality in a dry year yields can vary from 7.5 to 11, up to now I've been anywhere from 190 to 200kg N and the ratio is anywhere from 18 to 28, protein 10.4%. Rye you can do it on 17kgN/t which gives 8% Protein. The fields that give the lowest yields are obvious but if you get the rain fall may/june/july they can yield pretty well as well. I need to be more truthful with myself and spend for a reasonable yield in that field which might mean tweaking things by 10 to 20kg/ha. There is also a lot of carrot straw in the ground and we spread as much chicken litter as we can get so we are trying to start building a bit of base fertility. We did manage to average 9.33t in 2010 but there was a lot of the wheat after peas, drilled early with 5t/ha chicken litter on it and it was a perfect growing season. We mostly grow Istabraq and Skyscraper. Edit, most importantly we didn't have any potatoes in 2009 season so all wheat was after peas. rape or oats. Had 250 of ex potato ground ever year since then!
