I don’t understand why everybody’s running around with drills planting wheat. I’ve seen on one fb page a guy proudly staring he’d finished putting in 2500ac of wheat!!
The stuff we put in last year before the rain yielded half that of the spring wheat so put it in if you like, spends many thousands applying expensive herbicide programs and it still rains and your back to square one.
Stick to your guns with normal drilling dates to reduce your herbicide spend and if you can’t get it in then swap to spring wheat.
Do this by farm saving seed, not applying any dressing and just clean it when your ready to drill.
