I’ve had a field drilled with spring oats and as it emerges it turns out that either the drill was very blocked or simply shat itself. (Not me drilling- contractor!)
There are 2m wide gaps and also a few other gaps within a 8m drill width. Just by looking at it I’d say there is 30-40% not sown.
Without starting WW3 (hence why I posted this here and not main cropping thread!) is there a cover crop I can spin on to fill in the gaps to take what’s there through to harvest or am I best to cut my losses and plant a cover crop to go with the oats and have it as a non cash cover crop?
