[QUOTE="Mr Charisma, post: 5862890, member: 2907"] So the question has to come down to why the moment of muppetry ,,,,,,, well it starts of at this time of year last year when I nipped over to Paris for a romantic / dirty weekend away , whilst away my nephew got bored saw a field of stubble and thought to him self he would like to do a bit of ploughing without realising he was ploughing out some of my EFA greening for the year , not all was lost because I had the cover crop get out of jail card , so spring oats and buckwheat were planted in the autumn and grew very well , they were drilled straight into triod land with the vaddy and hoping to leave behind a slightly cloudy finish so if it came wet the ground wouldn't run together and fair to say it all went to plan , so 30 acres of a 65 acre field was cover crop , the rest was triod and left to rest for the beans to be drilled , come the day of drilling the straight triod land drilled a treat but the cover crop was a bitch with what I thought was disc stall because of the depth I was trying to drill at , anyway it kept blocking up in the drill , so I had to keep up picking the thing up to clear it then sweep around to drop back in to level the heap out and to carry on drilling , it happened a couple of times and then I discovered a stone had stopped a disc turning and that put the blocking problem to bed , but it seems that I got something wrong , can't work out why I didn't notice it as the drill box lights up like a Christmas tree if its not doing something that it should be . Muppetry of the highest degree !!!!!!! Might drill some sunflowers in that strip , will look nice if nothing else !!!!! [/QUOTE]
