Nice. Bet I don't have many like that

Nice. Bet I don't have many like that

I was very surprised to see the size of these, it’s on some very moisture retentive soil to say the least and we’ve been lucky here in the west we’ve had lots of showers.

That's just showing off.

I reckon I can beat that with my massive ears of blackgrass.

Boots just about to split on Skyfall here, some on brash has already. A lot of BG next door and I had an unfortunate blocked nozzle that I didnt pick up, you can see the miss every 24m, annoying but done now, only on one field.
Throughout the area BG isnt too bad but there are some crops about that look like they need to go through a forage harvester.
Have never seen the crops look so well here but need rain to fulfill their potential.

Desperate for rain again here. Well definitely will be after the weekend

mine are not out but there are 11 spiklets on each sides of the ones discected out the usual number in most years

Barley does. Wheat doesn't.

 

[yellow belly]

in 1984 wheat had 5 or 6 seeds per spikelet
more often there are only 3

Siskin sown in the last week of September. Growth stages from booting to ears 3/4 emerged. No evidence of WOBM in the spider webs.

Why plenty off time for the weather to f**k wheat yet, we are heavy ground and only 14 days ago had to give upspraying pre ems on maize as it was too wet yet pulled up a few bits of by today and the soil fell off the roots it's that dry
