when did you sow that
It’s the opposite around here greenery is getting worse by the day. Crops which weren't too bad a week ago are desperate now. A lot sprayed locally in recent days
30th March set planet on the 29th cutting tomorrow
we sat gangway in bandon on the sane days its still a week away, just finished wb yesterday
You must've been a baler man in a previous life or maybe you are the one currently.
Yes, the baling is done by us, you’d always be thinking of the baler with the awkward bits.
All local reports are good, where the regrowths are the straw is like silage but that can’t be helped. The worst headland I has came up at 19% moisture on that trailer, Gangway not altogether ripe but at current moistures it’s going to be cut. Planet looks fully ripe, haven’t heard of malt being rejected yet either. Straw is variable enough depending on dry spots.
Very similar here, most other areas got a nice bit of rain later in the spring than we did and got rain a nice earlier in the summer than we did, we can't grow good crops on 2" of rain from 17th March till 17th June.
Yeah, May in particular, lack of rain, frost (almost - 3) mid May and 2 weeks later we hit high 20s. I've nothing cut yet, some has been encouraged to ripen... Some late sown looks promising enough though. A lot of farmers will struggle to pay bills here, especially on conacre.
