Wow we might just as well give up down south and reverse the exodus from Scotland of the 1920's.
I presume it was Direct Drilled, not washed away last winter and No damn Southerners walking all over it due to Lockdown!
Yes, but you southern softies are off on holiday now, our crops are still green.
Busy now repairing the heater in the combine cab.

Thank goodness for the incisive intervention from Clive made to pre-empt any potential mis-understanding within this thread on that one, quattro.

Nevertheless, my decision last October to convert to Hectares, for the one year only, really couldn't have been very much better timed.

Hope it all turns out to be a tad above your best estimates, 4course.

We're half way through here now but, unless we get 4t of SO, the half of last year's total tonnage we were actually aiming at will not materialize.
