Wheat lodges

[Davylad]

Anyone surprised at amount of lodging in wheat ?
Dawsum going over despite robust pgr program .
Only 6 days here without rain in July .. Maybe that’s the answer… !

It died in the heat then laid over in the rain

Same here. Dawsum & Siskin. I blame it on higher seed rates to combat BG and early N as February had such good traveling conditions.

 

[Davylad]

And they said Dawsum and Costello were nearly resistant to lodging.. We had 243 mm rain in July.. maybe that was the issue ! 1 Ltr CCC 750 followed by 3 splits of Moddus .. regret now , not going withe Terpal or similar!

Dawsum is the one going flat. Tbh my gleam has too much lean for me to be happy. Thats irrespective of PGR and N input. Crappy rooting and abysmal weather.

 

[snipe]

Extase and zyatt gone flat on the good land here.

 

[teslacoils]

Dont nothing different to normal. Infact reduced rates of N by 10 to 30 percent depending how crop looked. Now, it looks fing touseled.

You can pick out most fields of Dawsum round here

It's a freak year, i wouldn't get to hung up about it.

All standing here , must be big gaps between plants

Could say that about most years! All seem to be exceptional!

 

[Iben]

What falls over this year will probably be the best next year when back to normal. What stands up this year will probably die in drought in the future.

Just work on averages and sleep better.

Exactly, that's what I mean about not getting hung up about it.

Was told once. If we could get everything right every year, we could farm on half the acreage!

 

[Daniel]

Same, Dawsum gone down on the better land, Gleam following it.

Or no weight!

Came through you area then down A19 to York. Lots of flat wheat about. A while since we had truly wet summer but it does happen.

Sums up farming, why do it when something always ends up as a cockup, no two years are ever the same
