More N or weed control

There is mental health issues regarding the mounting list of spray and fert jobs. And its nothing to to with size of kit!

I went spraying Sunday, wasn't in my plans at breakfast, but conditions were "suitable".
That was the only spray opportunity within the 8 days previous and doesn't look like there is another window to at least next Monday.
Was just a couple of loads managed and still behind.

Easy to say work/life balance but - this year more than ever - the weather governs what and when we do it. Occupational hazard.

Forgot where my sprayer is

can’t argue with that but really a season like this and the pressure that comes with that should really highlight how important it is to look after everyone’s mental and physical health

without your health you have nothing and your crops will be the least of your problems

Broadway Star going on now - I'm glad we waited, grassweeds don't seem to have got a lot bigger

We got a bit on on Saturday, some fields just won't travel yet
Thankfully they aren't the worst, still probably a bit cold on a night but it looks like a typical grab any opportunity you can year here.

Broadway star rain fast in one hour?

I wasn't worried about the rain, conditions were pretty much perfect, perhaps a bit breezy, but getting plenty of product on to dry leaves.
I just don't think SUs like dramatic changes in temperature and night time temps have been dropping to 3 or 4 °C

Thing is with weather like it is there is no option but get it on when you can.
