Most of the flag leaf is still green on mine. You should at least let us lads up here start the barley before you talk about the wheat

Think our earliest field is between 1 & 2 weeks away depending upon weather. Can see a lot being ready at once and the local contractors being under a lot of pressure from various customers.

Some cordiale cut round here today at 17 I was hoping for a gap to get peas done next two days and then cultivate some osr stubble. Should finish osr in morning. Anyone done their peas yet?

Sounds encouraging. What kind of specific weight was it? Did you add sunshine from a can (glyphosate)?
How early was that drilled? Diego here is still 10 days away. The first drilled block of Propino here will be fit by the end of the week at a push. My neighbour @tw15 did some Tipple next door today.

Just did a round in a couple of fields to see how fit it is. Sample a bit pinched but seems to be coming off ok other Tipple is still a good 7 days away from cutting as for wheats they are 7- 10 days off being ready.
What killed it?

Certainly going to be a late one this year.
Winter barley maybe a week off yet - spring barley still very green!

Started today, Cordiale, 1st field 8.3 t/ ha 2nd 9.8 t/ha 14.5% moisture, 85 bushel weight which is very surprising because the grain looks horrible.
Fair number of wheat crops went off near me a couple of weeks ago. There are odd fusarium stems in all our crops- but the local crops that have gone were earlier drilled than most- mid sept. I think fusarium is the issue round here. This is nodal & stem based fusarium I am talking about here. Think our wheat is a fortnight away from the sprayer let alone the combine.
Interesting year. always think July can tell you more about what you haven't got quite right than any other month. Crops hanging on, fungicidal policy re green leaf retention, accuracy of head sprays, varietal difference, potassium status in relation to drought tolerance. Most agronomists switch off after head sprays- waiting for roundup timing. Stay in your crops- you can learn a lot.
