Rotation would be my first step, if money was no object I'd go W Wheat, W Barley, W OSR, W Wheat, W Tricicale, Spring Beans, W Wheat, Grass, Grass, Maize. Next I'd no till it on a 25 cm row spacing and companion crop up the middle so still drilling on a 12.5cm row but crop down every other...

Like you say, it is just getting started that's the key

From what I understand, as long as I provide the whole service, bale and cart, cart and spread, cut and move its not haulage. Also where have you got your information from? All due respect I can't really tell the VOSA man 'oh some bloke on the farming forum said it was ok!'

Ive added up the weights I think that Id only actually be putting 13 ton on the wagons.

It's a good plan......but I can see VOSA/Police pulling me over and oh yes youre over weight and going too fast here's your fine, thankyou!

Afternoon Everyone, Right! So does anyone have some expert knowledge?! From what I understand we can now run with a combination weight of 31 tons but only with 18.29 tons on the trailer (including the trailer?) and we can only run at 25 mph. However, I thought I read somewhere that there is...

I'm just worried that it won't get it incorporated enough and I'll have a load of grief off neighbours and environment adency

Chuck a load of mustard on after the straws baled then spread onto that, let it take up some of the nutrients and start breaking down some straw then spray off and drill into that.

Yep I see, get it tipped up over winter and straw straw all over it, maybe windrow it if they let me. But to be fair if the sewage cake is the issue then leave the stuff!

Am I allowed to just leave it? I mean if it all the FYM composted down nicely and spread well then use just rake it over and leave it, but is that enough incorporation? When we've done sewage cake in the past they got arsey with me that the discs hadn't covered it enough! I can see the benefit...

Afternoon everyone, Ok so I'm after some advice. Ive got my set up with a system that will zero till or work tilled soils. I run a stubble rake over everything after the combines to get a staleseed bed, then where appropriate get everything drilled direct. The zero till system started because...

Hello, Need some advice please! So I've sprayed some good crops this season that where pressed first before they were rolled, so I've had an idea!!! But I'm not sure whether its worth it. I've done some research on guttler Crosskill and heard some good things about it. The idea would be to run...

Hello, Some advice please! So, I like Barley, historically the old man has favoured Winter Barley over a second wheat to get the OSR in nice and early and away from the pigeons and his hobby partridges, I can also get a staleseed pass in and we then have a longer growing period for the OSR...
