who's on with the urea

[beaconsboy]

Just wondering has anyone put any urea on there crops and grass land, or is it too cold or too early.

 

[Banana Bar]

All OSR done with liquid and 80% of 2nd wheat. Stopped today to get some glyphosate on spring seedbeds

 

[Jim Bullock]

Too early for anything here...rain forecast for next week. We usually put on our first application of Urea during the Cheltenham Festival week (Racing mid March)...! I am not so sure that many of wheat crops will take up much just yet.
We sprayed off most of land destined for spring crops at the end of October. There has been very little re-growth since then so I will not be going in with glyphosate until a few days before drilling, (direct of course!)

 

[Colin]

We've done the fields we can with liquid but some will have to wait a week I think.

 

[bobk]

Yes , too cold .

 

[John]

Been through osr 1st and 2nd wheats with 50kg/n.

 

[polly tunnel]

Done all wheats and w barley with 46kg/n if it stays dry will do w linseed next week amazed how it has dried up in the last few days

 

[David.]

Going round all arable bar the oats with good dollop of urea/sulphur last 2 days, travelling dry.
Shall be stuck in lambing shed from weekend, and am not prepared to be watching it sat on top all of April if it stays dry. Stony brash needs all the help it can get imo. Half an inch of rain will have no adverse effect at all on it, the way it is travelling.

 

[Brisel]

All osr done & most of the winter barley. The rest will be done when the wind drops next then onto the first wheats then back again with kieserite where needed.

Lots of spreaders running locally over the last week or so.

I'm still waiting for my urea sulphur to arrive on farm. Ordered in Nov for Jan delivery and still not here. If we don't get any rain before middle of next week it all should travel hopefully.

 

[TelesnaAg]

Can I ask what stage are you wheat crops at when putting first N on?

Any pics?

Ant...

 

[Brisel]

The stage where it is warm enough to see a bit of growth on. Oilseed rape grows at lower temperatures than cereals, hence why we do them first in the spring.

Beeb long range says cold east wind for most of march, at wast it will dry it up a bit

 

[Matthew Britton]

Rightly or wrongly I have put 2 cwt of urea on my wheat as I too will be busy lambing from next week and also have spring crops to get in. Don't think it will disappear.

 

[Vernon]

Only picked up our new to us spinner 2 days ago, urea due to arrive next week. I guess the rape might want some by the time I'm ready to do it.

Back with Kuhn now, axis 30.1 , no fancy electrics as think lights and indicators can be more than enough sometimes with Fert.
Wasn't planning a change but for what we do the numbers work out quite well to buy a tidy 5 yr old spinner for bugger all, keep it another 5 yrs then sell it for 2/3 of bugger all.
