Last 25 acre here that was sumoed post harvest and was nearly too wet to drive on last week is now drilling a treat. Problem is if it stays dry do we keep going, on fields planned for spring cropping cos of blackgrass?

Depends I suppose on what your fert costs. Spring barley uses half the fert of wheat.

Another 11 ha like the above and then 16acres of heavy stuff once we've lifted the beet on it.
