And it's nothing to do with deer.
Started the 2nd N application on Wheat yesterday and I had to drive a quarter of the wheel over on the headland tramlines to prevent puddles created from previous passes spraying everywhere and to level the soil a little.It wasn't too bad, I thought,as I drove back home from an outlying farm.
I selfishly noticed my old schoolfriend and near neighbour had also been top dressing and his ruts were (in Harry Enfield mode)considerably deeper than mine.
I must give him a ring soon for a bit of a catch up 😄😉

It would be nice to be dry enough to get some ruts in for the first dressed

Our ruts are still too wet to try the rolling the sides back in trick after 3 fert passes and the sprayer has been through most of it too . It's gonna be a rough ride with the baler this year in places.

One year I went to do some DD drilling for a new customer .
There tramlines was so deep, when the drill was out of ground position it was still in ground .
From one year to the next year they never touch them because they said they hadn’t got any deeper,
It was challenging but we did it for some years .

This is a fairly tame example, but every water filled rut means 5 metres of brown 'sharn' being thrown out either side and just in front of the booms.
At least the rain has washed it back off the crop...
