Coming down nicely

Last 25 acre here that was sumoed post harvest and was nearly too wet to drive on last week is now drilling a treat. Problem is if it stays dry do we keep going, on fields planned for spring cropping cos of blackgrass?

 

[Wombat]

think this couple of mm today plus the few mm over the last week has made anything but the lightest bits done for winter now

Depends I suppose on what your fert costs. Spring barley uses half the fert of wheat.

About 60 acres of oats left to go.

Still putting some wheat In here.
11 ha Ploughed yesterday and drilled today, going in nicely.

Another 11 ha like the above and then 16acres of heavy stuff once we've lifted the beet on it.

Just because you can build sand castles with it doesn't mean it doesn't get wet!!!!!

When it does get wet you just keep going down!!!!!!!

I think even I would worry about growing wheat on that, and it would be barley.
I bet you do some rain dances in June
