Anyone ever taken them to harvest? Yield good or bad? Spring vigour poor?

Written by CPM Magazine from CPM Magazine Download PDF A much better and relatively trouble-free 2022 crop for most and unprecedented rapeseed values have certainly raised the winter oilseed rape growing bar. But with higher input prices and extreme market volatility really upping the ante...

As above really, just wondering if I can get away without putting as much N on and not detrimentally affecting the yield, it's been grass for 10 years before with regular lashings of slurry etc
