Fabulous looking crops:Thumbp2: nothing even near as good as that up here. Are they after a break crop? probably lots of organics with the dairy background. I see my own and any where that got dung is holding much better.View attachment 78856 View attachment 78857 View attachment 78858 View attachment 78859 View attachment 78860 View attachment 78861
we got more rain than a lot of other places and a phenomenal amount of sun over the last 8 weeks so crops hanging on very well so far, rain is needed to fill potential but plenty of ye are a lot worse off than we are. Crops ended up tall in the end but a good bounce off them. The 3 fungicide attack at low rates has held all the leaves. The loss of CTL next year is going to be a disaster for barley
Ah no Neither of those crops are after breaks. i have pixel after maize after ley alright. There would be a lot of dung or cattle or pig slurry in the rotation alright but as I said we have had a few falls of 8/10 mms and that has been a good help.Fabulous looking crops:Thumbp2: nothing even near as good as that up here.

Not as good as ctl. No idea on price but no doubt it'll be more expensive as well.What's the price of folpet, or is it any good?
The cracks are similar here, I hammered the kite standpoles into a crack in a tramline in the WB fields here. It’s the only hope of getting it into the ground. Usually loosens after a few days though. I daren’t hammer it too deep though, I don’t want to be responsible for starting an earthquake.Valerie grainfilling.
Hopefully it’ll just get away with it before drought bites it too much.

Good ground you have there, I wouldn't mind ground that coughed up €2 coins everywhere it cracks.Valerie grainfilling.

Carlow Athy road ?. The Banana Belt .Just seen this today
Yep... lots of ground like that around here at the minute both sides of the barrowCarlow Athy road ?. The Banana Belt .
A heavy lash of rain would level some overlaps but I’d say the benefits of the rain should outweigh the cons. It’s hard to win really!Not a grain grower but I'd imagine the last thing those headed out crops need is a heavy lash of rain, would they lodge easily ?
It happened two years ago, we got one day with very light rain and high wind just around this time. A lot of winter barley went down, I was amazed how easily it went down.Not a grain grower but I'd imagine the last thing those headed out crops need is a heavy lash of rain, would they lodge easily ?
That same year crops stretched an unbelievable amount in a very short space of time and bent over about 4 ish inches above the ground at one of the nodes. There was no wind at all that year either to strengthen stems and over night I remember a fairly bad wind with no rain at all and my wb was well shook the following morning.It happened two years ago, we got one day with very light rain and high wind just around this time.
