Looking good. How long is it staying in for, i.e. what're you doing with the field next?

I have seen a contractor who reseeded fields by mixing it with the fertiliser. The pellets carried the grass seed and the results were pretty good.

I will spray it off with Glyphosate on about 10th September & the field will be direct drilled with a John Deere 750A with Winter Wheat on around 20th September.

Broadcasted 2 weeks before WW harvest: 10kg/ha oil radish and 10kg/ha vetch on second pass.
In small trail lupin.
Amazone spreader on 24m - no problem.

Drilling first wheat straight into the destroyed cover crop on 19th Sep

I was going to broadcast my cover crop on and only drill the pea's - having seen vetch seed is similar in size to a pea so I might try and mix the two in a hopper, drill at the same time? I've got over winter barley as well to go in which I think might be pushing it having a three way mix going through our old drill! so probably broadcast that and a light harrow.
