Heathland
Was v worried until I realised it was tons/acre.
I'll take a result like that.
Nice presentation by JD, hope by next year Claas can do same.

Well here goes nothing,I see a lot of establishment and growing crops on here but not many results so here is the yield map from the above field.
Warts and all.

Do you find your yield maps useful?

It's the first time I've really used it this year and I think it does show up the problem areas around the different farms I look after,but I already knew these areas anyway but when you see it laid out in maps it's a bit of a eye opener,so hopefully I can rectify these areas in due time.
This year it's also helping out on another issue I've got as well,but that's on another thread.
There have been threads on here about accuracy,but the peas which is the only crop to leave the farms so far this year,were a ton out,the right way by the way,amazing.

Heathland, is that the bit you had drilled with the deere drill? if so how did it compare to your vaddy drilled stuff?

Yes it was,to be fair to the drill it was pushing it a bit,I think if it was drilled 10 days earlier I think the poorer areas would have been less,you can see the trial plots at one end from the year before,too be honest the Vaddy established wheat did yield better.

I know you said it was far from ideal when you had it drilled and remember the pictures of the headland that's one reason I had to ask.

thanks

Wasn't one pass but here is a picture of grass sown after wheat in August. Disced a few inches deep then sown with a vaderstad rapid. Very pleased. Perfectly level finish, very consolidated and got the crop in a week quicker than if I'd ploughed it.

Best dog pose I could get.

IRG drilled end of September into chopped spring wheat straw. You can get away without moving the ground. Been lucky the autumn has been pretty open

martian · Dec 18, 2015

Same behind baled oat straw. It's still coming through where there was a lump of straw, hair pinned or whatever. Grass is pretty resilient stuff

looking good keep us posted, I would put up some pics of mine but it would look like a lake at the moment, every year I have to tell myself not to think that the crop looks thin compared to when we ploughed as it always turns out all right

When was the grass sprayed off?

I'm not 100% sure but a good couple of weeks I'd say.
