Same here.
Luckily you've given up on WB, Brisel, else, like me, you'd now be worrying about how much at T2.
It may be but people get excited, it's 13 degrees today and very spring like, I see next week there predicting up to 17 degrees so that will get things moving.

Next door were doing their rape and spraying it yet again today, have been ploughing all day, some fields still too wet to even plough.
Such is the penalty of spring cropping, MrNoo.

Too early to be drilling anyway although some on the brash would go, I prefer for soil temps to be up a tad.

Measured soil temps with one of my farmers this afternoon at approx. 10cms and was amazed they were about 7-8degrees,
As it happens, MrNoo, on past experience, your neck of the woods may well escape the 2017drought.

Thought everyone was supposed to get going at 5 degrees?

Very glad to hear that, Brisel.
You'd promised to report back and I missed it.
So looks like it's only to be poor old Devon and Cornwall again, as in 1975.

MOP and SOA on to wheat and OSR up here at 58N soil temps are 6-7 degrees... mental! No NVZ to worry about,
Oh right, better get the maize drilled then.Measured soil temps with one of my farmers this afternoon at approx. 10cms and was amazed they were about 7-8degrees,
Calcifert, you'll be upsetting @Cab-over Pete .
It's very good stuff
I also have a lot of ground limestone going on some spring cropped ground
Both products have their place
I agree, and often use it on small fields or where it just needs a top up.
After I posted that I saw your link to the reservoir level & dismissed it as leaks or a myopic penny pinching accountant at SW Water not turning the pumps on.
It is fairly dry, relatively...
I use it at low rates to supply Ca to plant and soil with the side effect of keeping on top of pH every acre of wheat and osr get it routinely regardless of ph level
However where I want to correct a ph issue and want longer term persistence then bulk product is the cheaper route
