Spring Barley - General Thread

[Hardysplicer]

To be fair the roundup atomised the cover crop and the field got dung and slurry and a slightly later sown cover crop and it does look slightly darker where it was tilled .

That will be the “magic”

Pre order this seasons seed :Thumbp2:

Ploughed with pacomat, spread the compound, a run of the karat (the cattle had done some damage over the winter), sown with the Vaddy and ring rolled.
Fine, firm and level.

Lovely job gone, I assume that's after the Gordon? Arrow straight!

On the left Spring Barley direct into Cover Crop with the Horsch ST . On the right it got a run of the Horsch Terranno a few weeks ago and sowed with the Horsch ST .
The Cover was Seven way magic Mix.

Maybe I need together stronger glasses too but am I right in thinking the direct drilled barley is more advanced? It looks slightly greener in any case.

This drain gets blocked every ten years . Put 1L /Ha of Stomp Aqua pre emerge on the Spring Barley to keep down annual meadow grass . It got two bags / acre of 10-10 20 down the spout and I spread 1.5 on top.

There’s no flies on that man and if they are he’s making money from them.

 

[John kverneland]

Got mine finished up today. The South ring can take some rest now..

Last field of spring barley in today. In two minds as to whether to roll tomorrow or not. A lot of rain forecast for down here Sunday and Monday, field is steep so rolling would probably be a benefit to stop any soil movement, but worried it could cap afterwards. Opinions welcome!!

I wouldn’t roll as it looks like there could be a lot. Plant across the hill if you can.

Roll it across the hill what ever you do if your going to roll it.

 

[mixedbag]

It was sown today, field is always worked across the hill. Leaning towards leaving it unrolled for now

 

[Rebelman]

I wouldn’t roll it with the forecast.

I'm the same I'll roll if tomorrow is ok.

Is there an awful lot of rain? Any of the forecasts I’m looking at are not too bad at all

The forecast I saw after the 9pm news looks like we're in for a good drop tomorrow evening. North East looks like it might escape.

It nearly keeps changing by the hour to be honest.

It seems we have a blocking high on the east coast and depending on how it shifts we could have some rain in the south east or virtually nothing.

Nice green tinge on the first field sown here today, two weeks and a day to come up.

Was picking stones off my own too again, two weeks next Sunday and just about breaking the surface.

Both Met.ie and xc are showing a lot down here between Sunday and Monday. It mightn’t be as heavy everywhere.

 

[John kverneland]

Surely if the conditions are right ,( top of ground white,) it shouldn't matter?

 

[mixedbag]

Met, Xc, and yr all giving a lot of rain 50mm +
