I have some that has gone quite sad. Problem is wouldn't have got it drilled if I hadn't done it.Yes , overwintered ploughing isn't an option with our climate , soil goes sad as a a sad thing.

Seriously why are people panicking and forcing seedbeds, especially with systems that are supposedly designed for later sowings, with the ability to cover lots of acres in a short space of time. It isn't even April yet. Be patient, and crops will fly out of the ground in a couple of weeks.
Not exactly forced is it though?
That's not even "Boys ground" Bobk, that's "Girls land!!!"
Looks some lovely stuff mind!
Ha ha, Howard . That was me yesterday on the light end of the farm. It was a grass field ploughed up as well.That's not even "Boys ground" Bobk, that's "Girls land!!!"

Used to be the village allotments. dad earned a shilling an allotment for ploughing it, back in the day. It's only 6 acresThere's a sticky bit on the far side
If I had to chose whether the 15acres of barley I have yet to drill or the stuff I drilled late feb which will yield better I know which one I would back. Saying that the later stuff MIGHT do better but all you can do is what you think is best as the time. As ever hindsight would allow you to chose the best drilling date every year!Seriously why are people panicking and forcing seedbeds, especially with systems that are supposedly designed for later sowings, with the ability to cover lots of acres in a short space of time.

Depends where you are in the country, as you wouldn't get much drilling done around here in February. It's all about using the little pockets of dry weather we get, to do a bit of something, but stop when the weather turns and remember that it will dry up again.If I had to chose whether the 15acres of barley I have yet to drill or the stuff I drilled late feb which will yield better I know which one I would back.
