[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7110395, member: 2119"] Despite best efforts with under drainage we tend to lie fairly wet here over winter, we have some extremely heavy soils and some extremely light soils. On 200 acres we need to be able to work off farm to supplement our incomes. For that we really need a 6 month uninterrupted run. I think it’s more about tailoring cropping plans to farm type and personal circumstances now than anything else for us personally. So if we can be finished by end of September, including all primary cultivation’s or covers in ready for drilling next spring then we are in a better place than having to drag on through the winter with bits of spraying, chasing pigeons, lifting and loading beet and nursing and lambing sheep. We will see. Psychologically we both find that doing something other than farming for while is of great benefit. You come back keen to get on. But stuck in either job permanently gets you down after a while. You need variety and a change of scenery. [/QUOTE]
