Struggling to get a good wheat sample with the T X this year. Some of the smaller heads are hard to thresh. The wheat hadn't really ripened, just died. What's the best setting to alter if I'm getting both unthreshed grains and damaged grains in the tank? Open concave or close bottom sieves?

Had 110ha destined for winter beans but seed delivery way behind when we think it’s optimal for decent zero till winter beans to be drilled. Shall I order some spring bean seed or shall I plant spring oats, I’ve got the nitrogen in the shed and farm saved seed. I am erring towards the oats...

How did you do it? Is it an instant cold turkey approach and hope for the best? Those of you who tell us you haven’t used insecticide for years, when you took on new land, did you treat it any different? It’s a constant battle of wills with the agronomist here, he understands my strong desire...
