[QUOTE="bankrupt, post: 6632972, member: 42770"] Same here, 4course. For example, of the 7 different fields we did on 10th Oct, 5 or possibly 6 are OK. It seems that it's a total lottery as to which will fail and which will succeed. One might argue that past experience should have guided the risks on this but, having pulled out in a forecast drizzle that midnight, one really didn't expect yet another 15mm to fall before breakfast. The fields that are OK correlate with the order of drilling on that particular day rather than with any previous cropping, soil type or any other historic factor. My conclusion is that it was right to have got all the seed in the ground in reasonably good time somehow or another, and just to accept the cost of having to re-drill 10-15% where necessary.
