Forecast dry tomorrow. Want to spray T2 on Winter Barley. Took a look to see if I should fit the row crop wheels. No chance!
But the damp is doing far more good than what I’ll squash with standard wheels.

OK turn off the bloody rain now I havent finished putting fert on yet
Baling it all so needs a few days to dry in the row!
200 acre of bales you poor soul... what’s most likely too finish you off the weather or carting the f**kers
It’s been a Lovely on / off wet week for N application.
it can keep raining a bit here, was so dry the ground has soaked it up like blotting paper ! Would be nice if it cleared up for 2 days end of next week to apply fungicide to barley and rye though, them more if the same plus some sun all the way to harvest please!,

They don't understand that we're getting 5-6 droughts every year and that's far worse than only getting one every 4-5 years like themHell of a drought though, wasn't it ? eh ? eh ?

Not fussed about the rain. Ground is still firm, and puddles draining quickly, fert finally washed in.
But a bit of sunshine and warmth in-between the rain wouldn't go amiss...

What’s the minimum amount of sunlight a wheat crop needs for a half descent yield, I know it gets stressed over 25c but it’s still single figures here

it has cost us yields on lighter soil wheat was dropping tillers fast
that’s 3 dry yields limiting springs in a row for us now, a long way form Australian extremes BUT the UK used to be the best climate for wheat growing in the world
Can’t be worse than 2012 can it,very similar pattern so far...
