Wheat today @125kg/h into previously DTS oil seed rape, making a lovely job, plenty moisture after the rain we had on Saturday.

You must have had more rain up there than us! Our beans went in a couple of days later but no sign of them yet.

Pictures of two fields that are next to each other, they were a little damper than the last one I did that day, that field is just showing the old plant popping through.
We had some rain last week but bloody cold though, some sleet n hail.

Few more close up pictures of beans
I'll post pics of winter wheat this week where we trialled a Sumo DD alongside our DTS. Very impressive

Why plough and powerharrow?
Basically for 2 reasons, 1st one being last years spring barley was a disaster, got a few things wrong which resulted in a pretty pee poor yield overall, ploughed some overwinter for this spring so not all our eggs are in 1 basket, as it happens this years dry spring meant there's now no real difference between ploughed or strip-tilled into stubble spring barley apart from the fact that we could get onto the ploughed land 2 weeks earlier so that barley is 2 weeks ahead. The 2nd reason was a comparison of black-grass control between the two methods, can't really say whether there is much of a difference between the 2 methods yet but I'm sure the pre-em won't have worked so well across the board this spring because of the dry!
