Following ww? No cover crop? Straw chopped?View attachment 908441Electrum barley
Spring barley it’s following, you can see it was also moled through the spring barley. Didn’t have time to put a catch crop in. The straw was chopped but there’s not much of it, cut stubble high.Following ww? No cover crop? Straw chopped?
I hope one rain event in September , doesn’t finish the autumn off, as there’s many reasons not to drill yet. Spuds, maize and beet to lift and hopefully drill wheat afterwards

6 reasons I won't be starting till October at the earliest.
It's not 1995 anymore, we have no seed treatment for BYDV, pyrethroids don't work, flat crops are not fun, CTL is no more, Expoxiconazoles final year, Yellow Rust varietal resistance breaking down and Black-grass germination is greatest early Sept-Mid Oct.
In 1990 most of the above could be countered from the can.
Yes last autumn was a disaster, that was last year.

If you are true no Tilling, then there's perhaps a two week delay in the crop getting going, so its perhaps no difference from a conventional start in October.The only reason we are not 100% drilled up is because we are still harvesting
Plan to start on Monday, black grass and bydv are not issues here
