No BG here. A small rain would be beneficial. But seems it's all or nothing.

I share your not having a drill challenge.. It is handy our contractor does quite a lot of drilling on moderate land behind a pair of their own ploughs, it does mean with a few days planning they put their ploughing operations on hold for a day or 2 whilst they get the rest of us drilling up. I do need decent windows of dry though, if I went to plough today and we get 30mm of rain this weekend we could easily find that ground will not travel until March!

30mm of rain would be difficult. All mine was ruffled back in August and rolled down - would press and drill lovely today and no bf on the main block. Still, very little in round here and even a moderate rain wont see the whole county stopped.

38mm of rain Wednesday/Thursday!
Grounds surprisingly dry. Was walking across winter barley field this morning and wasn't sticking to boots too bad. Out for a load of straw and hardly marked stubble.

He had just run down the field to copy the drills RTK A/B line. In hindsight I should have had him double roll the rest of the field in front of the drill, as it was doing a cracking job.

I refuse to be pushed around by weather forecasts. Progressing with tractor engine top end recon. Trying to ignore everything else.
The tortoise and the hare. Only trouble is I feel like the tortoise ain’t going to make it over the finish line this time. Never mind.
