[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6882042, member: 2119"] On a more optimistic note I have been pleasantly surprised by the success of later direct drilling on heavy land of spring barley. It looks better than the ploughed and worked stuff obviously because we didn’t lose moisture. How it finally yields is yet to be seen as the seedbed was extremely hard but it’s come up well. The direct drilling worked because I waited till the surface was just on the turn between fudge and concrete all the while wet underneath. I would say it was a two day window here. Then rolled it twice to close the slots. Bingo. Nearly 100% establishment where some of that land ploughed is close to zero in the worst patches. Didn’t roll that enough though and left too long between ploughing and drilling so direct comparison unfair. [/QUOTE]
