Hi boarderbloke
We are 100% winter sown
wheat barley and OSR/canola even trying
winter sown linseed / flax, priced as a
premium to canola.
Wheat and canola definately yield better
here winter sown, barley and linseed
perhaps not so marked but we grow both
for the July harvest date.
Spring sown linseed can be hard work to
combine in September due to our damp
climate. In September I want to be
sowing wheat not combining.
Crops look well considering we have had
one of the coldest Decembers on record,
even the linseed which is marginal for
cold.
Mild again now though but more very cold
weather could change how crops look come
spring.
I would guess UK is 80/90% winter sown
but as always weather has the final
say,at least we get two chances.
Barley, peas/beans, canola, linseed, and
wheat would be spring sown and acres
numbers would be as listed.
