[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 592930, member: 192"] We rethinking of 300kg/ha but going earlier around 1st March as the crop will be following a cover crop so we are hoping only a very light or possibly no cultivation will be required. Plan is to roll the cover down at christmas time or soon after then desiccate it which will give it a good 8-10 weeks to dry the soil out pre drilling as the one negative to a cover is it could keep the soil to wet to drill and because its heavier soil its got to get drying somehow which it won't if its got a full cover on it. Although NOTILLBILL is now saying covers are bad for him in OZ as they use the moisture up so in theory leaving a green cover should mean the soil dries quicker! We will see I guess. [/QUOTE]
