What % of your normal wheat do you have in? POLL

[Bossfarmer]

Just curious to see how wheat planting is progressing this year? safer bet than malting barley for next year?

 

[M-J-G]

We put in extra and have sold most of it forward for Nov.

bit risky forward selling though is it not?

 

[Sid]

Wouldn't this be better in the crops section?

Why, are you thinking it will be worth more?

4 times last years final area
similar to 2018 although we added 300 acres of second wheat in late October that year

 

[yellow belly]

From the poll about 10 % still to plant
on a projected 1.9 million ha that is still over a million tonnes worth

Why no option for 100% ??
ie drilled everything you planned at a similar level to most years

 

[Tarw Coch]

Drilled everything I planned which is 100% more than last year.
Not that that’s really significant, my wheat would have been destined for whole crop so went into maize instead, harvested last week and now drilled to wheat.

Was that your big clamp that Tim J was on last week. Saw pics on FB

More than 100% for me. Only because we decided we did not need quite as much grass for the cows, so a massive 12ac that was planned as Italian Rye Grass is now a second wheat

No , definitely not, only 30 acres here, and Tim doesn’t do our maze.

all planned acerage sown ,reasonably confident that all will make a crop last bit sown now emerging other than a couple of headlands patches ,overall looking ok biggest worry I have is the forward state of the osr

 

[Wombat]

60% which is 60% more than last year but not been a particularly friendly season again.

Just needed 2 more dry days on that spell late Oct but wasn’t to be

 

[4course]

most folks ive talked to are more or less sown up but all have an iffy bit

 

[Barleymow]

All in but no 100% box to tick

 

[Phil P]

208% wheat drilled here, mainly due to taking on another farm this year. Also 150% with winter barley drilled, so not altered our rotation just to drill more wheat.
