When is to late for Spring Barley

[shakerator]

Also I like to think spring crops planted now have not endured the stresses of the last 6 months which really take their toll on winter crops vigour etc.

Crops grow very fast at this time of year if they need to
Just look how quick tape has gone from green bud to flowering

Cereals up in 7 days

It will grow but dont expect 4 tonne an acre.

Personally I would try to grow maize or beet for a digester.

With the current weather forecast then I would consider spring osr broadcast with a quad bike. Might not suit the rotation but osr drilling this autumn is not likely to be early drilled if the barley is not planted yet.

Stuff I drilled on Wednesday is up and in row today, pretty speedy, I mauled some SW in on Friday (on clay) and is chitted already although I lost that lovely tilth by using a combi, reckon I would have been better to use the fert spinner and a set of chain harrows. A hell of a lot of ground still to be planted around here, a lot still in stubble. Bang the seed rate up and get it in I reckon.

Don’t think youngsters know about cuckoo barley!!!

 

[udderly-ridiculous]

Managed to get one field drilled today (148 acres) wouldn’t drill with our TS evo, but managed to get someone to drill with a avatar to cut through the clay, wasn’t overly impressed by the avatar tho.
