The joys of spring Osr

Hopefully not they are all off the same bg free farm they are going back onto, same with the pig unitsAs long as those 35 Hesstons had no blackgrass in them!!
What did you do to it to get a seedbed after the carrots were lifted?Spring barley going in after strawed carrots, going well considering theres 35 hestons/acre on there ?View attachment 871752View attachment 871750View attachment 871751View attachment 871753
A field of s barley, not the best but not the worse ,
Disced twice, power harrowed twice then ploughed and pressed. The power harrow seems to do the best job at mixing the straw up. A spading machine would be ideal but not viable on the small area of strawed crop we deal with each yearWhat did you do to it to get a seedbed after the carrots were lifted?
Beats 50% of the fields in this area. If all of mine looked like that I would be like a dog with 2 dicks
We took a slightly different approach to most folk around here , we put the power Harrow straight into last autumns triod land , it was hard work on the power Harrow but we got a reasonable seedbed and the drill was always close behind to conserve moisture , a fair few put pigtail cultivators in and then power harrow but lost a lot of moisture , but we did have one field which we didn’t get right , altered the pressure on the outside wings of the baddy , which put the wings in a bit deeper but lifted the main centre section out a bit , so we will have 2 stages of germination , ?
I suppose I ought to take a photo of our mishap but I will counter act it with a photo of our best field ?
I’ve also got a photo of our direct drilled barley but the phone won’t upload it
I see that you are not missing the Coronavirus updates!Done a bit of a swap round so this is definitely the last field of spring barley?
Think I may be to blow the filters out in the morning ?View attachment 872022
Got to keep up with what’s going on in the world outside my isolation pod?, usually have Netflix on though ?I see that you are not missing the Coronavirus updates!
Like the rainbow!Still on Canary seed today, this was the sum total of the rain we got! Made some dust stick to the window and that’s about it?

February drilled winter wheat not looking to bad considering the hammer it’s had.

My two wanted me to put one in my tractor, it’s surprising how many kids point and give me a wave on the way past, seem to get a really good response?Like the rainbow!
My daughter was speaking about doing one for my tractor. Hasn't done it yet.
