Rather cold and wet Sunday morning

Wheat into oat stubble drilled end of August 2016.

Unreal the difference between how dry it was under foot compared to the conventional crop next door, espically where the DTS moves no soil at all when tramlining.

Still have no idea how I managed it though

Still have no idea how I managed it though

Is it the whole strip of part of it? On my drill a couple of times a season the control box randomly stops giving a speed output from the radar unit, just shows 0.0 kph when the drill is dropped into work so it doesn't start the metering system as it assumes its not moving, turn the control box on and off and it starts working again. No idea why it does it, irritating when it does but has always started working again, often just involves lifting up and reversing back 20m to start the run again.

It's a hole strip, have had that also a couple of times.
I couldn't have been on auto pilot to miss a full strip with warnings etc and also never ran out of seed, mystery.
