The article reports on the state of some British farms as of March 2008. In the East, cold weather has slowed cereal growth, particularly winter barley. Cold snaps and drier weather appear to have kept disease in check, but a T0 will still be scheduled for the most forward, disease-prone wheats. In the North, winter barley looks well, but fields with mosaic virus are easy to spot and need recording to ensure suitable varieties are planted next time.
