Another field done, moving to the next.
Jobs stopped, been p!ss!ng it down here since midnight, no drilling todayAnother field done, moving to the next.View attachment 910724
I feel your pain, bought and paid for a second drill over a fortnight ago to try and stay ahead of the weather this year on the condition it was delivered in September, don't thinks its coming today, I wonder if its the same big mechinery dealer? (pm sent).Would have done, but the Freeflow was the last one left and I didn't fancy that if it gets to wet. If its not here in the next few days the agreement will get torn up and I'll either hire something of pick up a cheapish combi for this year. 1/2 the farm will be full of BG if I went this early on it
Good man, that's what I like to see. I'm joining you in 2nd wheat in September solidarity brother as I've finished drilling mine too!all 2nd wheats in. Well it's nearly October.

Didn't have much choice , it all weighs I supposeDid you drill it after barley early?......
Well it's chucking it down in mid devon now and some flooding in Cornwall, so might not be able to go again here for a bit.Didn't have much choice , it all weighs I suppose
Would have been the same here if we hadn't gone earlyWell it's chucking it down in mid devon now and some flooding in Cornwall, so might not be able to go again here for a bit.
Blackgrass ?? Bydv for me . Will start w barley on Thursday and continous wheat the week after . All first wheats this year are after 40 acres of lea ground let out for spuds last spring it seemed a good idea at the time ...... That and 20 acres of maize not yet ready . If it stays wet both pieces could resemble the battle of the somme . And be left till spring . The best laid plans of man and then God laughs ......Impressed and pleased for those that have finished, not started here yet ☹
Blackgrass, breakdowns, poor weather, bydv and lack of seed in that order. Must try harder. Would have liked to get some winter barley in this week or end of last but it wasn’t to be. Forecast is terrible. There is also over 3000t beet to lift.....Blackgrass ?? Bydv for me . Will start w barley on Thursday and continous wheat the week after .
