I have some cheapish seed available but the land is in over winter stubble until 15 Feb. Trying to figure out if we would be better with the wheat over SB.

14th May, Skyfall, didn’t harvest it spun 10t on a worked field so the chaps could have some pigeon shooting back in 2020. It all grew fine and came into ear. Field was destined for solar hence not harvested. Also grew a blend of Mulika/Skyfall again May drilled that did better than SW, harvested same time as SW
