Seeding has been going well since I got home. Not that it
wasn't before, see pic below, but we stated seeding into sub soil moisture and we've ended up with some rain (7mm) and the dust stopped.
For some of my overseas friends the
difference between seeding and not can be a s little as 3-5mm of rain. The crop of wheat below was sown on 16mm of rain we
received on the 25 March. It's had one grazing by sheep and than 25mm has fallen since. All of the crops are up with most of the
cereals at the 2-3 leaf stage
and the canola at 2 leaf.
So I'm heading overseas today going back to the UK for two weeks. I will be going to
Cereals one of the UK
largest arable field days then to Ireland and Netherlands to look at the flower industry. Ill keep you posted.
