[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 1648242, member: 192"] Anybody using a chemical program in a cover crop is bonkers. We've put some pellets on one begrudgingly and in hindsight what on earth were we thinking. It's plain stupid. I've seen one cover crop had fertiliser, a spray and some pellets. That farmer has just been conned again by his serviced agronomist ........... I can just predict the conversation now ........... Agronomist: "let's plant a spring crop because margins are tight and we can sort the grass weed issue out". The sheep: "oh good idea, shall I take my pants down now or after next harvest?" Agronomist: "best leave them on for now as I need to sell you a cover crop, some fertiliser, chemicals and pellets to keep it growing, then next spring I'll sell you some seed, more chemicals, more fertiliser. Then I'll sell you a full program for winter wheat the year after because you'll think we sorted the grass weed problem out, when in reality I've just prolonged the money I'm earning from you for a while longer" [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15] Jesus ........
