That's in the lap of the godsDrier seedbed
Pointless praying look what happened when I didThat's in the lap of the gods
Last February was really dry , need to explore anything than spring poxy barleyIf it is forecast for an inch of rain the next day no matter how good an opportunity it seems, don't bother....
The weather could easily be worse in February. As others have said put plenty of seed and early nitrogen on. I have had mixed results drilling in February and it relies on a good couple of weeks post drilling more than anything else. I would just work the top few inches as the soil will be very cold lower down.What's the procedure ? same as autumn sowing or different , appreciate it's going to be high seed rate
Last feb would have been fine... feb 2019 was fine for a week so I drilled but then it pee'd down an inch the next day and I spent the next 6 months wishing I hadn't.Last February was really dry , need to explore anything than spring poxy barley

Yes remember that. We sowed ww first week of march, ended up redrilling with sb middle of April.Sowed sb march 13 , a week later it had a foot of snow on it
The more important factor was February and early March negligible rainfall, so after your sowings That followed five weeks in January with well below average rainfall.Feb 5-8 2023 I drilled 100 acres of Gleam at 225kg/ha, 150kgs N, 3 fungicides and it averaged 10.6t/ha over a weighbridge. Hopefully the same again in Feb 24, but it will be a lot more than 100 acres!!
We drilled winter barley just before the beast from the east.Yes remember that. We sowed ww first week of march, ended up redrilling with sb middle of April.
