Crop Watch North - Farmers Weekly - Helen Brown

Just as we were starting to shout for rain up in Cumbria, our usual weather patterns returned. We have now had a few very wet weeks, causing some quick growth in all crops, and are hoping the rain knows how to stop again.
Winter cereals are now all out in ear and the last of the T3 fungicides are being applied in winter wheat.
In general, winter wheat and barley are looking well and the gates are being shut until harvest time.
