The usual controversy but i know this land enough to know what you can n cant do with it.
The land 1/2mile away is way diff to here & as for land around the wooler area its even more diff than anything around me
Vaddy Drills have made some think oh thats the way forward until you actually hear the amount of passes to get the req seedbed in the first place.
Plus we get way more wet up here & far less sun all yr round than anyone farming south of York say...
OSR is the only crop i mintill but would never think of doing nothing to the ground to try n sow it...
Unless you want no crop atall.
Ive ploughed 22" high Rape Stubbles that had Muck Spread on this yr & to get the seedbed about right for Combi Disc Drilling it still had a Press & 2nd Power Harrowing before me... Thats on some of the heavier stuff mind.
