[QUOTE="bluepower, post: 5834738, member: 1540"] I ploughed 10 acres that was rape and turnip the sheep had finished today. It ploughed up really good and just crumbled apart. Hoping to combi-drill it with winter oats in the next few days as I have the seed in the shed. It was always my intention to drill with winter oats which can be succesfully planted until mid-March but conditions are so good at the moment.As you say conditions are more important than calendar but I think I will need to get the gasgun out! I have another 20 acres I was hoping to do the same with in another couple of weeks if it is still okay. It would be nice to get that done before we start lambing as it means no spring oats this year and the millers prefer Mascani to anything else. Last time I drilled winter oats in Jan they yielded well but with shorter straw than Oct drilled oats. I will tell you in August whether it was the right decision! Last year spring oats did not get drilled until late April and were a disaster. [/QUOTE]
