anyone on spreading fert

[turbo]

21mm of rain on wed night has stopped us till next week

Or I am lucky I escaped without a smacking. Hare coursers assaulted one farm worker on a farm near us last week. There's some nasty groups around at the moment.

Oh yeah I know, was just being silly. If they don't become threatening then they come back and set fire to your straw, or worse. Have to keep a distance and involve the police, thankfully they are reasonably responsive here.

The spreader test was meant to be today but not now till Tuesday, will start on osr and wb then and weather/conditions permitting hit some of the more needy looking wheat and triticale afterwards. Winter cereals in general around here are looking pretty good so no real rush.

Oh right, better get the maize drilled then.

Not started yet?? we are nearly done!

on again this morning on grass leys travelling a lot better than we thought it would considering weve only recently taken sheep off, a tad windy but going at 12 m in the exposed field

Might venture out on barley later, although wind is forecast .
Monday mornings on a livestock farm isn't ideal for getting out on the tractor, as plenty of bedding and feeding to do first.

Looks like the land will dry out tomorrow, and the wind drop, for exactly 5 hours of daylight spreading, before the gales and inevitable rain arrive.

Iam going on holiday for a week one field of barley that probably could do with a kick won't travel pretty well everywhere else would but the wheat and osr don't exactly look starved to me
Probably have a nosey round when I get back and undoubtedly will be up to our axles then

I thought that, few bits of standing water left in the wheat are going to dry up for about a day. Then get filled up again Thursday and Sat

 

[franklin]

Going to get some on tomorrow, but am going to reduce the dose a bit for fear of tempting even more rain.

Started on some osr this afternoon furthest from the farm and grazed by pigeons (gas guns been playing up!), urea at 187kg/ha.

Only if you've sat on your arse all weekend.

Exactly , fed and bedded and at Bakewell by 9am .

The forecast is not looking dry and settled for March, so no rush here apart from a bit to keep barley moving, hopefully in next week.

Bugger off. I was spraying all weekend. Rounduping grass.
Well I was in the mornings, but had to fit in football Saturday afternoon and Bangor on Dee point to point on Sunday afternoon.
To be honest, before joining this forum, I wouldn't of even been thinking of putting fertiliser on in February. Plenty of winter left yet.

 

[marcot]

Get it on.......won't make anything grow still in the bag [emoji2]

Barley needs a bit of perk. And aiming to get 70% on by / at GS31, and if I only put a bit on now then will be spreading masses of bulk in a fortnight.
