[QUOTE="T Hectares, post: 6738692, member: 2522"] I had all my wheat in by October 31st ( chalk downland !! ) with 50ha of Winter Beans to do I just didn't get a window I was happy with until the frosts on Monday and Tuesday Previous experiences in 2000/8/12 all showed drilling in frosts to be better crops than mauled in Nov/Dec crops, it just gets a bit nervous when by mid Jan it's been as mild as anything!! Anyhow, a tentative start at 4.30am saw a bit in before the frost lifted, luckily I was on at 11.30pm Monday night and and keeping going all night saw it all in by the time the frost was out Tuesday morning Gone in really well, the biggest issue with drilling late is probably going to be lateness of harvest?? So, probably DD wheat this autumn...[ATTACH type="full"]854816[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]854817[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
