AB15 2 year legume fallow

[Huno]

How are you all getting on sowing the AB15? I've done half after wholecrop but the other half after Crusoe wheat on heavy land is proving tricky. Having straw swaths down for 3 weeks didn't help. Hoping to get it sown early next week when tomorrow's deluge has dried off.

all planted thanks..

what was the deadline for AB15 under CS and under the new wonderful SFI scheme again please ..was it the 7th September please?

 

[Huno]

please avoid AB15.. its not a great option in reality if you follow the rules and plan wheat after it.. The satillites watch your parcels all summer so you cant pull a fast one either... all the best

Why not cut it after the pollinators are finished and maybe 50% now and 50% in a months time as it is after all an Environmental payment
