Drilled 120ac here and reckon will be left with 30ac, other fields have been murdered by FB, headlands are fine for some reason but the middles are gone, will spray out and bang W Beans in if it ever dries up enough

This has been an interesting field to watch this autumn, Chicken muck was spread here but the first pass setting up a hire spreader had nearly double the rate go on !!
In ex spring barley land all headlands are fine but some dodgy middles aswell. More consolidation better moisture?

Later drilled too? I’m convinced OSR needs drilling direct after winter barley otherwise forget it.

I was told OSR doesn't want to be taller than knee high this time of year. Fortunately our Chinese agronomist, Nii-Hi, is 6' 2"
Yes, the problem with the spring barley is it was so dry because the barley was still growing when it was harvested! Most okay though.
