[QUOTE="B'o'B, post: 6962606, member: 491"] I really don't know. Yes crop are looking thirsty, but on the whole they could still give reasonablish yields if they get water soon. 3 late drilled 2nd wheat fields totalling 37Ha, (4 Ha of which didn't get drilled and 7Ha of which failed after drilling) won't do 7t/Ha over what's left, even if it rains tomorrow, and its only down from there without rain soon and realistically on those fields the yield could go very low if no rain by the end of June. The rest of the wheat is not as stressed over most of the fields (apart from the usual droughty areas), reasonable looking ears just starting to flower, I would say they still had a reasonable potential, given an inch of rain very soon. If no rain comes before flowering ends I really haven't got a clue where we might end up. I'd like to think there was 5t/Ha there even without rain, but that really is a very uneducated guess. It looks to be coming a little cooler here, which would help. Anything much over the low 20c won't help crops at all. Crops are looking a bit better after a dewy night compared to a dry night, but is that enough to build much yield? I don't know at all. We will harvest something, more than that I could not say!
