what’s others thoughts ?
cheers

Have 6 weeks from when you can destroy in 2nd year to hopefully drilling wheat - last year presumably like toast & you could bale up for bedding.

Anyone else suffering from a spring flush ?
Admins delete if I’ve missed an active thread

My golf coach lives in Arizona , send him vids , have a chat on zoom , golf is harder than growing crops

Not for the first time have I read of a direct drill comparison and found the best margins were obtained by quite a large percentage by a more conventional approach. ( This weeks FW )
