Friday Crop Report on Thursday!

[grassfarmer]

This is Wheat growing last night on my Grandfathers original farm in Germany.

It’s dry this year.

Getting dry across much of northern Europe. Bio-digester plants in Germany that turn crops into energy are being closed down to conserve feed for animals. Calls to do the same in Scotland as it suffers a severe drought also - very unusual to get that degree of dryness over there. Might have been in worse shape if the 10 months prior to the drought hadn't been exceptionally wet.

looks like a soil sterilant, they did the same here. Looks god awful

Been really taking care of rightaways here. Everything sprayed good and dead. Started enough fires last year so finally they’re lessening the risk. Maybe it’s roundup with diesel for the carrier.

Nice heads.so how do you count seeds for yield?

I'll take a wheat crop like that compared to what we have out here any day of the week!

WTF is wrong with mowing "twice" a year, let alone annually if you're lucky! When those conditions exist the first thing to start growing will be the perennial weeds like Canada and Sow thistle... or the opportunistic weeds that won't grow in a healthy stand of "grass".

Would mowing twice a year break the RRs?

I agree they created a fire hazard by smoking all the tall grass. Mow it, the roots give the rail bed strength and erosion protection. Not smart imo.

Canola thin spots on hills and knolls filling in and looking much better without any extra attention.
Would be good testimonial for miracle treatment if it had had one.

Making cut lines to get to some sections out back moisture in ground is close to normal for this time of year.

Small leaf ? Is that from one of the dry fields ? Here they are about the size of a chemical jug , unreal
