Marked out with GPS into spring beans vols, and yes sloppy turd and carpet of blackgrass. Suspect might be fallow! If 3 crop rule not scrapped would have left

I think it’s a good balance and the perfect soil type for zero till and Input reduction
I'm having to dig deep to stop myself from going to look at the fields, I just know that they will be so much better end of this next week , will just have to check that I don't miss any spraying weather to get the glypho on. Plans may change along the way as well,,,,,,,, was going to use the 6 m weaving tine drill straight in but I think it will pull up a lot of rough, I'm hopping that the vaddy will cut in well and make a nice job, only time will tell whether I should put a tine in b1i1 have a feeling it may be best to drill straight into the seed bed we have from last autumn
It's amazing how it's changed in the last 2 days. Thursday I was slip sliding all over the place walking across the field, today I could almost walk it happily in shoes.
Wet sloppy silt paste dug out of the ditch on Thursday will support my weight happily today.
Contractors will be booked tomorrow for planting this week.
Hoping to get herbicide on the wheat this week and make a start on the first dose of fertiliser too.
Amazing how much you can get done when the weather plays ball for once. Whole farm will look a lot different in a week or so. So nice not to keep looking out on puddles everywhere too.
Shorts and shoes the following week.....!
600 acres in so far. Not great conditions but stuff drilled last Friday is chitting well. Photo taken yesterday morning. View attachment 864731View attachment 864732
Wheat endrigg?
?Wheat endrigg?
Thats a headland in English
No. We always rip up the endrigs before sowing them. Just fresh soil had come up where grubbers had been through.Wheat endrigg?

Yeah we're very lucky. Mainly the wind drying it out. Still cold.You are way ahead of the lothians
Seeders and ploughs going down to the guts round here where they have ventured out

Had a walk around ours yesterday with a spade and some would drill but not a whole field yet. Should get some round up on in the next few days but may not need to much as the neighbour was splashing some about yesterday in the wind and i think most of it landed on mine. It wasn't windy in he's cab apparently!
