[QUOTE="jh., post: 7362936, member: 527"] It is not ex maize ground. The farm was once a clay , quarry and brickwork , so it isn't the most forgiving of soils . It's gets ploughed now simply for yield . Leaving it until the spring historically knocks about half a ton a acre off the yield regardless of how much diesel and metal gets flung at it . Tbh I wish it had been ploughed before Christmas but I was trying to get a few lower wet spots to dry . The majority of the angle was ploughed across the hill to try and help these wet spots but you are correct , that is a point between 2 changes in the terrain, which highlight how quick the water had found the weak spot to cut its channel after only 5 days .
