[QUOTE="Jim Bullock, post: 934056, member: 97"] This year we will be going for late September early October drilled wheats where we have produced a low BG situation (ie: after a spring crop or a clean break crop) I am not going for anymore late (post Oct 14th) drilled wheat crops as it is just too much of a risk in this part of the country on our soils. We were very lucky and managed to drill 1/3 of our wheat during the last week in October this year ...but these crops have not had an herbicide and have suffered from slugs and rooks from the day they were drilled. At best they have produced one tiller whereas the earlier drilled crop have five plus..For us after mid October its better to wait until the spring. (Our spring wheats produced the highest GM in 2014...they made milling and were sold well..!!!) [/QUOTE]
