I'm waiting for seed oats and beans to be cut. Apart from 2nd wheats everything else that can be drilled. Is.
What do you think it was last year?Latitude dressed seed from last autumn, down to 86% germination
Would that blow?!View attachment 908564Well thats the wb in, wheat next week but with only 2 fields of 2nd wheat itll be a game of waiting for veg land to clear then pull up and drill, then 900 acres of beet to come out to be followed by wheat if conditions allows if not spring barley. So fingers crossed for a decent october november december
It would if it wasn’t so sheltered with tree belts on 3 sidesWould that blow?!
It was fss so tested at 97% iircWhat do you think it was last year?
The germination %age allowed for seed crops is surprisingly low.It was fss so tested at 97% iirc
I chitted some seemed ok drilled it and 95 percent didn’t come up. 12 months old seed I can’t remember the dressing but that’s what’s finished it off.That wasn’t tested. Ask me again in 6 weeks!
It’s either 84 or 86% for seedThe germination %age allowed for seed crops is surprisingly low.
Can't remember what it is.
And they reject malting barley if its below 98% and paying you £130/t for it!It’s either 84 or 86% for seed
It’s gone up a bit then, quoted £440 yesterday by FrontierAnd they reject malting barley if its below 98% and paying you £130/t for it!
Winter barley seed was about £380/t with dressing.
£395, had some this week...It’s gone up a bit then, quoted £440 yesterday by Frontier
Too dry here again same as last year no point drilling if pre em wont work
Interesting. Why do you think that?Dressed the last of harvest 2019 wheat for seed. Nice sample. Bit of rain due so will drill grass early this week. But rain will not be awful - it's the intensity that causes the problems. Consolidated seedbeds will drill and dry better than loose "weatherproof" ridges.
I quoted wrong, its £445£395, had some this week...
Yes, 10 degrees cooler from Thursday onwards. I would think anyone who has been pre emming earlier this week and last week may have wasted their moneyDon't these pre ems need cooler conditions?
