Well done!
Managed 40ac here which makes us nearly 75% done - just chopped bean straw stubbles left on slopes with wet spots! Just what isn't ideal.
100ac beans to go after that too....

Are they 38” or 42”?
Don't regret the bit we did early, yet.
Should probably add. Heavy ground, after beans which had a very thick stand and seemed to keep out the BG last year. Always seem to suffer with low plant populations on here, so drilled at 240kg/ha last week in September. Would rather have the work and the risk spread, appreciating the negatives of early sown crops. Had avadex, crystal and liberator. Thankfully it doesn't seem to have been harmed by the rain after and infact the pre ems have probably benefitted from it. 5th year strip till, structure is pretty remarkable considering 7 years ago it was decimated by a beet harvest. Still wouldn't want to drill it once it's gotten this wet though.

Well another 60acres 1st wheat drilled today but rain is forecast for the. next few days so that could be it for a while!
Was min tilled bean ground that was spring tined in front of the drill today, bit tough going, ground very soft and wet + bean straw and rubbish constantly blocked the spring tine.

Looks a nice set up that.
I’ve got a bit of every soil type, so can hedge my bets
What we drilled last Thursday has run together and doesn't look pretty after the weekends rain. Drilled after grass yesterday which looks really good. Drilling after potatoes and OSR today, been round some wet spots and hoping the weekends rain doesn't ruin what looks like a better job than was made this time last week.
Running out of dry easy going land now.

Lol. Your heavy stuff is lighter than my light stuff. You can keep your rainfall totals though
