Ok I’ve not been the biggest fan of DD I will admit but been having a think about one field in particular
it’s thin soil chalky free draining and is a bugger to plough
so going forwards it’s maybe time to do something different
current crop is wheat and was thinking S barley next then S oats after that.
the field is a bit short on PK and is something we’re working on.
couple of neighbours have DD drills so would ask one of them to drill it depending on which machine I think is suited best on the day.
don’t want to leave it as bare stubble all winter though so what’s a cheap cheerful cover that could be put on with minimal cost?
Wheat is unlikely to be cleared before 2nd week of sept
we have a combi drill and a slug pellet machine on farm at the moment.
suggestions please
cheap suggestions are best as I’m only poor
