[QUOTE="D14, post: 7005705, member: 49382"] Did some crop judging for a farms comp last week. 25 fields of wheat in a 20 mile radius. I did not see 1 ‘excellent’ crop and to be honest struggled to grade any as ‘good’ either. From the car everything looked decent but walking into them and it was all the same, short straw, 1/2 to 3/4 formed heads, partial blind sites, spindly and what looks like going to be smaller than normal seed size but that is just a guess presently. I got given print outs of a brief history on variety, date sown and husbandry since and I can tell you that those sown in September look no different to those sown in January. Honestly I’d be amazed if any of them did over 3t/acre grain and 1t/acre straw. I’d say the reality is more like 2t grain and 0.5t straw. Back into the same area next week doing spring wheat so we’ll see what that shows. [/QUOTE]
