[QUOTE="jh., post: 6768355, member: 527"] Got a strip of 5 fields up through the middle of the farm . Either side is fine enough stuff . This strip would probably be better in grass for a AD cow . 2 fields as good as ploughed now but tempted to leave the other 3 as fallow , rather than panning at depth and then having to throw metal and diesel at it , to try and make a seed bed this late . If it gets dry it turns to type 1. Gut feeling is it will struggle now to get close to 2 ton a acre of barley . My thinking at the moment is to drill a summer cover crop by shallow disc and in with combi , then try DD in the back end but all could be pointless if the following harvest , normally September is too late for another decent cover crop to establish. Not much between harvest dates between winter wheat , spring barley or oats so it's getting a late sown but winter hardy mix that does the job . [/QUOTE]
