Locally sort of 90% of leaves lush & green but 10% yellow leaves. I'm optimistic of good yeilds. Maybe more concerned it is too thick, small grains & more chance of lodging. But the South West has always had far more BYDV than anywhere else.

Be interested to hear about defiance and challenger if anyone's growing them. Dropping dawsum as Yr is now horrendous in it, beowulf will be dropped as Yr also bad and doesn't tiller well. Will keep gleam.

How this is built

CropIntel ingests posts daily from active arable forums on The Farming Forum. Each post is scored twice, once by a hand-curated UK-agri lexicon (deterministic), once by a frontier LLM with a one-line rationale, and the two scores are blended with weight toward the LLM. Out-of-season posts (no agronomic signal) are excluded rather than averaged in. The page above is rebuilt every morning from the latest daily aggregate. Full methodology.

The system that produces this pulse (the curated corpus, the model, and the public track record) is available to acquire. See the opportunity.
