I don't know if its true but RBWH always seems to grow in places eg yards etc where the soil is quite sad. Is it supposed to be an indicator of anything?
I think its just ultimate pioneer. think the yanks call it fireweed

Rbwh appeared just about everywhere here this autumn. One field in particular which is far from sad or acidic....I'm sure it's the soil telling us something, just not sure what
Do the back wheels of the drill carry any weight when drilling?View attachment 491492View attachment 491494Started drilling beans into er moss today! Struggling with the 7740 on the old drill as the arion software playing up. Tractor not very happy about it nor me really, can only go about 8k as drilling deeper.
Its just about dry enough as its beans but a bit slotty. Will roll.tomorrow

I'd be scared to death with all that moss, but you have previously stated that it doesn't appear to have any negative effects for you, but can't help with the rolling and trying to seal the slot? Anyway good to give the old ford a run out. Why aren't you moving straight on to drilling the spring barley, I see you are waiting 10 days, there doesn't look like you are waiting for covers to die back? Just soil temps?View attachment 491492View attachment 491494Started drilling beans into er moss today! Struggling with the 7740 on the old drill as the arion software playing up.

Drilling barley into this today. Im actually starting to worry about controlling this stuff now. Latest thought is a good slug of Hiatus SU. Barley going in ok though with 50kg AS
Move to Norfolkhow do I rotate these things?
Well i did say id report cock ups. Ive been two simoned!
Spring barley drilled 10 days ago has hardly germinated. Field is a write off. Basically sprayed stubble which was.ungrazed winter barley stubble 18 days before. After drilling it pee'd down for 3 days and this has effected germination.
Another lesson in 2 simoning! Luckily it was just recleaned farm saved seed so hasnt cost a fortune. Ill probably redrill with spring beans as field really needed a break but could just as easily redrill with barley next week in dry conditions.
Perplexing as ever...
Could just as easily be glyphosate effects, especially given the fact stubbles were ungrazed and the spray to drilling period was not that long.
