This looked good until the pigeons got hungry, they’ve even had it in the volunteer oatsThere's a big block on the cliff near me that looks absolute junk. Not sure if the cost, or the winds given how exposed, or some chem damage. Looked good but now it's looking pants.
Merlin s oats sitting in the shed if neededWe tried it and pigeons got a taste for it as rape got going in the spring. Kept it grazed till winter barley was ready, if you cannot keep the pigeon off, we tried but failed days are getting longer pigeon eat whenever it is light, I would put s barley in.
No unevenness here apart from approx 5m2 they’ve had the lotJust to help you make your mind up. Due to the unevenness of the crop after spraying off with roundup some off the stems were still quite green and wrapped in the combine chopper nearly causing a fire.
Smouldering ember dropping on the ground not a crop we will try again.

For those who have experience of the crop, call it quits and replace, or keep it ?
Looking like pigeons have hammered it, a small area in the corner is a lot taller

Robin Appel in this caseOn the plus side though, Premium Crops will have had their profit margin out of the seed.
C max for grass weeds, but was already like that before it had that and 250kg/ha of actyva s ( NPK & S )what herbs and fert has it had? Ours was good harvest 20, terrible harvest 21. Pigeons were never that bad, it was cold and herb damage that mullered it last year.
Is the no scope to use fss????On the plus side though, Premium Crops will have had their profit margin out of the seed.
I retract my potentially libellous claim!Robin Appel in this case
It grows alright after the combine! Don’t see why not?Is the no scope to use fss????
Bromoxil (sp.) is a massive loss. I don’t like Ally on linseed at all. No crawler going forward either. Depressing. Can’t decide if I prefer winter or spring linseed or if I’m an idiot for growing either!!!! It’s definitely harder with fewer chems though. Eagle is more crop safe but has a poor weed spectrum.Pigeons!
No osr close by so the pigeons have resorted to the linseed. I’ve got some areas like the photo above but the majority has got away and is about to flower. Had Callisto pre em, Crawler late November, Ally a month ago. Will try to home save seed if we choose to grow it this autumn .
