We are PRAYING for RAIN?!?! | Spring Barley 2025

Описание: What a difference a year makes! Back in 2024, our spring barley trials site had only just been drilled due to how wet a spring we were experiencing.

This year, however, it’s a completely different story.

The spring barley has been in the ground for 5-6 weeks now and, in that time, there’s only been 5-10mm of rain. For now, the crops are looking good with some fine looking root structures but, as Agrochemical & Technical Director David Cairns says, we’re now at the point where we’re hoping for some rain.

Tune in to hear more about crop progress, as well as what our Farm Traders are up to out and about in our trading area.
