Spring oats look good here.
Spring barley very average.
Some after spring wheat and it’s good. The worst bits a couple of fields after winter wheat with a lot of chopped straw.
spring barley is definitely more fussy on DD and can be a weak link on my experience.
many plan is to remove the straw from winter wheat infront of soring barley, as I think residue toxins etc is not helping. Then establish the cover crop with some soil movement to create a bit more tilth.
Our best spring barley in the last came from very shallow cultivation and broadcasting a cover crop at the same time.
ploughing works well for spring barley, we had a good crop the one time we did it. But it was a nightmare to harvest and kept pulling out the ground.
