Crops in this thread look good to me. Cold nights and the bit of tipping I wouldn't worry about too much.

 

[Bigjon44]

Yeah hopefully will come to good yield and prices stay up

mine also slow … is it Surge ?

Hi Gormers, our surge winter barley is struggling yellow tips on the leaves. Think it’s the frosts we been having.

Keeping an eye on Tardis

Wondering if this Costello actually needs any more N at all. It’s had 50 units N plus sulphur.
What will it yield if left alone and save the fertiliser ?

I don't see the reasoning behind people trying to cut back? Surely with wheat prices at historic highs one should be trying to grow the best crops ever??
Nitrogen is dropping in price so I see even less logic in trying to save N for next year now.

@silverfox your wheat does look good - grow it!!

I'm sure there's room to cut back. Any muck use? I'd not grow it just on 50kg.

This could well be the year that the pub yardstick is not how many tons/ acre but how big is your margin /acre

Pig muck last year before maize, which is obviously still doing some good

Agree - but if you have bought your inputs at sensible prices then I see no reason for this crop to not be one of the best profit opportunities for a long time.

Tbh i tend to find a strong link between yield and margin.

Anyone had a price for Broadway star yet??

Anyone had a price for Broadway star yet??

Was paying £130 for a 1.06kg pack in December. But they reckoned prices would go up 10%ish in spring so I imagine it will be up on that. Non-serviced

Sorry not the best picture. Costello first wheat after linseed, planted 20th Oct and only had 80kg/n. Looking well even in the wide mzuri rows.
