27m unit running >2nd season. doing a good job.
prefer running 2x 36 m as much easier to navigate with power line post's & odd shaped fields.
good to see that eastern neighbours are not motivated by the nay saysers but do it.
As you don't need to comply in future to EU laws, so no need to watch N efficiency. with US trade deal you are going to compete with N-hydrous ammonia applied, which is the cheap Cultan.
Now with >100 n/ha in the soil - soil samples from last month indicating, not much room left for N application when you need to get rid of serious ammounts of digestate of animal waste on top. We need to get N efficiency up.

I think you'll find it's not the European laws that are a problem, it's how they're interpreted and implemented. In Scotland we have rules that splits the country into two regions. I have to abide by no spread periods, which I think are very sensible, whereas others can spend all winter spreading slurry with no upper limit on the amount of N they can use.
