Just north of Hertford, We managed to get 20 acres in last week but nothing since and now it’s really wet!
Anyone else got anything in the ground?

Nothing here yet. Fingers crossed we can get on with some soon!
Calibrating the thing is the worst bit atleast it has hands free guidance!
This is the first year trying it. Want to strip till into the ley, we have tried wheat before but on the clay fields we struggled with adequate seed to soil contact with the coulter peeling too much turf away from the seed. With the slim bean coulter you get a better finish. Also more time to make sure the grass is dead with a follow up spray before the beans come through.
Also part of the thinking is that after a 2 year ley, if there are any pests in the soil then beans will be less affected. Also wanted a take all break after the ley.
That looks very dry compared to us

Started back drilling on Tuesday after a 10 day break, Combi behind plough now though!
Is that batter boards and harrow? Looks quite ridged? Though I appreciate that it can just be cosmetic/look worse in the photos.......
Yes. That's as low as we dared go with the boards. Any more pressure and it bulldozed. The corrugation effect shows up after it has been rolled & has settled down.
