Tamworth NSW Australia | We planted at the optimum time here, mid to late May with full moisture profile. 40mm in June and 28mm mid July. Crops look terrific at the moment on the plains and will last another few weeks before losing yield potential. It wont put out a head for another month and yield potential will drop rapidly then if it stays dry. Crops on the lighter soils are desperate for rain and some have been given over to grazing stock, as winter pastures have been burned off by hot dry weather. The forecast here is for 30 degrees C (86F) here this weekend, so looks like spring is here early.
Pics taken today, no clouds in sight.
Edit: Forgot to say Gairdner barley.
