Maize

Hoping like everyone else for a bit of warmth.

That strip cat looks like it works well.

Finally this field is showing itself. Heavy rain after drilling lead to capping. The muck that was spread has now mostly been pulled in by worms. A few broadleaf weeds, a couple of wild oats so hopefully will have a saving on weed control.

We have the warmth and its motoring now. Weed control has worked well and i dont think its a bad first attempt at strip till maize. I have some thoughts on how to improve fertilising the crop.

Most of the maize I've seen round here is purple now to a greater or lesser extent, I assume it's lack of moisture? Getting very dry now.
