Your wheat yield predictions

[Hindsight]

OSR is the crop of the year I recon, no bad crops at all around here.

If I was a Greenpeace activist anti neonicotinoid bod I would be using your post. Bit of a beggar that. I have a suspicion the OSR will yield reasonably well nationally - and thus every year we cry wolf is another year when the need for neonics becomes less to the general public. Which is a pity as useful group of chemistry for specific purposes.

One agronomist said he thought OSR had had near ideal conditions this year. That said, to echo Mr Charisma, I'm still a bit nervous. Crop looks great, but I am worried it was over thick which has led to not a very deep canopy.

I agree with the first part but then you said the crop looks great, which is not good news.

Suddenly a lot of rain has appeared on the forecast for midweek, that might just save a lot of wheat crops (if it happens).

I know. Our neighbour, who has had better yield mapping to date, says that their not so good crops generally do better.

I will be amazed if that is not over 4t

milling wheat or feed?

Too late for most if not all the wheat here. All rain will do now here is finish off the winter barley and maybe give the spring barley a bit longer.

milling wheat or feed?

it was Leeds that was in the picture ,,,,, last time I looked it was a feed variety

 

[turbo]

how do you work it out on ear numbers?

Agronomist did it,I think it's number of heads/m2 x number of grain sites

 

[4course]

Agronomist did it,I think it's number of heads/m2 x number of grain sites

think its number of ears/sq m x grains/ear x tgw x 10000 problem is different years make more difference easily get 6.5 million ears/ha but some years 4.5 will yield better as bigger grains and more/ear reckon the biggest influence on yield from now to harvest is tgw which needs grainfill ,sun, K , and no disease or delayed harvest

That's the way but like I said earlier it's in the hands of the weather gods from now on,we have given it the best chance to perform so sit back and see what we get

 

[4course]

not siting back here yet( well I am but sprayer op isnt) still got some to get ear wash plus foliar as only just milky

Costello first wheat on some good ground. What's the yield on this going to be?

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Put the multi N on the last couple of fields today -

Found this, what is the cause?

And this -

Wheat looks good overall. Hopefully 3.75t acre here, which is our average.

10t/ha?

 

[Grain Buyer]

don't forget kg/hl, a 70kg versus an 80kg makes a hell of a difference.

I'm guessing fusarium and orange blossom midge

Still looks nice and green. What variety?
Do you still grow cordiale? I thought you spoke of it last year.

That is Crusoe. No dropped Cordiale 2-3 years ago, never really liked it.

Looking at my wheat ears where it was thick there are plenty of heads 3grains per spikelet 18 per ear
In fields Where the crop looked too thin slugs in the autumn the are many spikelets with 4or 5 grains ands heads have 25 spiklets per head

Not bothering to calculate yield as when you count grains per m2 always get yields of 10 to 15 tonnes per ha may be doing a lot more samples would in crease accuracy but as the pollster find the degree of accuracy low my gut feeling says average yield or better because the weather for heavy land has been favourable

Would drive me nuts looking at them applicators all day!

Ha, ha I don't really notice them now. Bit of a pain at junctions and turning in gateways with trees. But they do a good job (as long as it's not windy)
