Why not leave it until rain forecast?drilling yesterday, should get finished today
80kgs seed plus 100kgs DAP - a little bit of moisture at 35mm deep
Easier to adopt that approach if no rent to pay.....The best way to decide when to switch to a cover crop in my experience is when you know in your heart of hearts that you are only going to break even or worse and give yourself a load of work and expenditure which you may or may not be repaid. Then you can cost the cover crop seed which would be your only downside if you chose that route.
You should be able to keep that below £25 a hectare.

Mines in deep . 80kg seed 80kg 34.5n 3kg slugg. Hope now , another week or 2 it would be getting to hard to drill. Not fun today no air con and it was bit warm.
Never had that problem, but have been astonished at the slug burden AFTER Linseed.....Worse than any Rape crop we have grown. That's only really happened since going Disc Zero Til though....And overall generally don't use pellets anymore anyway since Zero Til.Do slugs bother linseed ??
They cleaned up my winter linseed in autumn 19. Never had a problem in spring.Do slugs bother linseed ??
