Are the economics of HSS ve bought in that clear cut? (Im talking just wheat and barley in this case as have to grow Clearfield Hybrids for rape)
You speak to the home dressing companies and it is a decent saving, but they dont factor in the extra time and hassle of the operation or pre dressing germination tests etc.
I like the idea in principle and have done it in the past but not for a few years. This year I have the potential of a further 100 acres to go into wheat, new land to us, and the varieties I have in the ground right now will be my first choice for next year, so could represent a decent saving on paper.
