Not started yet. Spring barley and winter wheat. Nearly started the spring barley on Friday but felt there was too much green in it though a lot of it is dead fit. A bit wary after last years sweating heap. As rain was forecast I decided to refurb the chopper. Waiting for parts now, which will bring on a dry spell. Winter wheat still a fortnight away. Direct drilled stuff into sprayed off grass ley will need a hefty dose of glyphosate soon. It looks like a neglected hay field. Also wiring up some sockets for pile dry type fans in the temporary store to hopefully cool the heap and buy us time to get it into the slow old permanent system. I’m very very sceptical that a pedestal every 6m will achieve anything more than a bigger electricity bill but it feels like we are trying.
