I hear from @agronomytrainer that there’s some Yellow Rust about. So which of the attached photos show symptoms of this important wheat disease?

@JuliaSoilsister @organicarable @hanslope Previous crop was organic little gem and romaine lettuce. We use a treffla Harrow to pull cotyledon weeds out and mineralise some nutrition early spring to encourage growth
English

@FentonStirling @organicarable @hanslope That looks great! What's your weed control strategy and what was grown previously?
English


@organicarable @hanslope @FarmerBarney Weeds are a major challenge, especially on the fen soil Good early spring growth and timely harrowing gives the crop the best opportunity to outcompete any weeds
English

@FentonStirling @hanslope @FarmerBarney I was about to say it's some of the best ground available! It warms up really quickly which is great for spring germination. How do you find the weeds?

@FentonStirling @FarmerBarney @organicarable 150kg/ha wow! That’s an amazing population for that rate 👍
