How did the crop fare out in your region?

Yeah, I suppose, look, average, pro- probably around a 3.4, 3.6 ton to the acre and, um, I have come across lower and higher yields.

Like, there is guys reporting maybe 4.2 ton.

There is guys then reporting maybe as low as maybe 2.8 ton.

To me, the, the lower yields are probably crops that were struggling maybe with BYDV.

Um, I'd say maybe their cane come out of the winter from the ground being wet and hard.

S- uh, one, one chap did say to me he thought there was a bit of, a bit of take all in the barley as well, but I'd say that might be due to the, the, the wet and then the dry...

Yeah.

John, just in terms of that dry weather with those spring crops, are there any issues popping up in terms of, um, I suppose trace elements is always one that kind of tr- throws its head up in, in these kind of conditions and, and, um, y- did you mention earlier something about, um, some late germinating weeds coming through?

Yeah.

Look, it's, it's sort of as some of the spring barley, it probably can be patchy in places starting off.

Like, they're, they're, they're catching up now, but maybe the germination was a little bit slower, maybe especially in drier patches of field, so it...

A little bit of patchiness in it.

Um, weeds there at the minute, I suppose, germination of those can be a bit slow in some fields.

Like, you...

There's, there's, there's probably more of it out there.
