% winter cropping complete poll

[shakerator]

Simple poll , as I don’t believe certain surveys !

 

[Zippy768]

26%

 

[Boysground]

OSR 100% done and still a crop there
Grass Leys 100% finished today, Drill not moved for 10 days as too wet
Wheat 0% usually aim to start about 10th Oct depends on maize harvest. Will try and do some next week. Other than 50ac that has to go in a sticky silt the rest should go without any problems

[Ivorbiggun]

Just over 50% here, have some light land to do which will bring us up to about 70%, after that depends on what the weather does.

 

[Fish]

90%+ only 16ha wheat and the beans to go, way better than this time last year.

Just done the rain fall figures for the year to date, 635mm (official 30 year AV 644) which includes 167mm in Feb and 93 days between March and June when we only had 5mm, crazy year.

 

[Wombat]

0 but hoping we get some this week

Zero. Fairly common round here. Few bits of wheat done. Lots of maize went in on heavy ground which may or may not come back to bite.

100% doubt it will all survive

 

[Northdowns Martin]

Hoped to drill first wheat this weekend. Went to spray off bg flush yesterday only to find more about to appear so will leave a little longer.

 

[solo]

100%. Winter barley fully emerged and wheat is just showing now.
Been out this week to Abingdon and saw little cereal emerged and a lot cultivated still to be planted. Some osr but not large area.
Bike ride to east of Nottingham today and I would say less than half planted but plenty of untouched stubble. Virtually no osr seen. 2 combi drills seen working on ploughing.

 

[Ivorbiggun]

30 mill more this year that the same date last year.

 

[average farmer]

Not much in around these parts, I’m just over 25% in . Would just be nice to get all the first wheat in, the rest can go go spring for me

 

[Barleymow]

Nothing yet dry week forecast turned to wet one

 

[teslacoils]

I've realistically only a days drilling to do. Be sad times if there isn't one good day from 23 september to early December.

 

[DrWazzock]

Only a good days drilling to do here. Nothing done so far. Not sure it will get done unless we get a decent settled spell. It is what it is. Feels like there has been a permanent shift in weather patterns. No slack at all now and caught between a rock and hard place with blackgrass chit and aphid attack v later drilling impossible due to weather. Should have followed by own advice and just left it all to spring.

 

[Heathland]

Simple poll , as I don’t believe certain surveys !

Have you got much drilled?

 

[cows r us]

0 percent here. Not much drilled in bucks at all.

 

[robs1]

Strange that round here on the Westbury vale clay very little seems to have been drilled but travelling over the cotswolds today there was a very large percentage up in rows. Would expect it to be the other way round.
