[QUOTE="Mr Charisma, post: 6621856, member: 2907"] Thought I ought to report in, when I started this thread some 6 weeks ago it was partly in jest although I was slightly concerned as we prefer a dryish autumn, on the 22nd Sept we were set up well, nearly all the ground was trioed, fields which were a bit tough had been cultipressed and with some weather on them we would of had perfect seedbed conditions for this land,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but,,,,,,,,,,,,, we have passed 9 inches of rainfall since mid Sept and will more than likely go past the 10 inch rainfall later today , having watched and contributed to various threads on here it is very interesting to see how certain parts of the country have missed some of the major rainfall events and have managed to get some crops in. It always makes me chuckle when I look at posts and folks say that they have been drilling on some very heavy clay yet they are drilling straight behind the plough, yes it's ploughing up shiny but probably because of the traffic it has endured. As always, you wonder if another system would have worked, I have seen a couple of weaving gd drills working but on the very best land in the area, does not look pretty but time will tell. We still have nothing planted and to be honest I'm glad I haven't as they would struggle with this amount of water about on this land. Saving grace for us is that we have had a good harvest, we have more in the grain stores from this harvest than 2012 / 2013 combined., we also had a good harvest last year which other areas didn't. I'm certainly glad I planted 7 acres of linseed for seed , I have at least got the option of planting a crop cheaply , So yes I am concerned,, I have divorce proceedings against me, parents with health issues and over the next few years I will see some big changes in my life but I always look forwards to the future [/QUOTE]
