[QUOTE="MrNoo, post: 6446592, member: 2767"] In a perfect year it would be fine, this year has been very good for Spring crops here, growing a mix of SB and SW and both look great, very cheap input wise and hope they produce the goods. But one year I ended up with 400 acres out of 550 in Spring cropping and it was too much for me on my own, I only had a Vaddy drill and it had to dry out enough to get that over the ground. So it went in later than ideal and then droughted, yields were well down and the accounts showed it at the end of the year. However I tend to grow about a 50:50 split of Spring and Winter crops here and it works well, also having an old combie drill means I can plough (rotationally) and get drilling earlier. I also like to see the partridge in the stubbles too which is an added bonus. [/QUOTE]
