I'd be interested to know how the wheat is looking that went in in the frost three weeks ago. Also which method was used, broadcast, combi , direct? I'm asking as I would like to still get some in if we have another frost ,being as the seed is in the shed.

Broadly speaking, how much do people think lambs will eat per day from a hopper when they are on stubble turnips? when we have them inside I budget on 2kg a day. Would it be nearer 1kg on turnips? Lambs about quite framey, 40 kg approx Thanks
