[QUOTE="Boysground, post: 5962122, member: 610"] I farm 500 acres 20 miles from me. Its all cropped on as simple a system as I can do. Wheat, osr and spring barley. I don’t do anything fancy, the fields tend to be blocked together but this is flexible as I do multiple years of SB on bad black grass fields. I don’t go there with a tractor unless I have at least a days work for it unless it’s a spraying emergency which is usually OSR related. Over the years I have cultivated a couple of the locals who will go out and look for things slugs and flea beetles being the biggest problems. I have a good agronomist and we plan allowing for me not always being able to get there at the perfect time. 1 example be the distant farm will nearly always have a T0 on wheat, my own farm will probably not have it. It is an insurance. I would go for the deal. If it doesn’t work you can give up the land, you won’t know unless you try. Bg [/QUOTE]
