- Top of the Chilterns
Any advice would be welcome on this. I have 80ha of heavy, flinty, hilly land going into winter wheat that currently looks like this:
It's chest/ head high, completely alive with insects, and is mainly spring linseed, buckwheat, sunflowers, phacelia, and a bit of clover and vetch.
I don't have a roller crimper.
Topping it feels like a crime
Cattle would be nice but I don't have any, and it's next to a main road and not fenced.
I don't own a disc drill (see flint comments above)
I want to keep all the nutrition in the field.
I want to drill wheat beginning of October.
What to do?
