I re drilled block on the 19th last year, compass hybrid, still yielded 1.2t/acre on those fields and was plagued by the pheasants again.

No tilled (tined drill) is okish. Some rolled some not. We could do with a weeks warm weather though.

I planted 12 acres with seed from last year but the germination was barely half compared to off the combine seed,Got 12 packs of Exalte destined for some heavy land, was hoping to drill Mon/Tues in better weather but it's just starting p*****g down again!!
Should I just save it for next year or gamble? Was planning on lots of OSR this year but it hasn't materialized.
so ended up broadcasting fresh seed on top to patch it up two weeks ago now though. Ths is now at cotyledon stage compared to two true leaves on the older plants.No, still got it, but it's not happy with the chopped straw. Brought the Simba Freeflow for eventually DD on the OSR and mainly for the Pea's, Vad really doesn't like drilling them
Not sure what I am more impressed with, the OSR or the blue sky!

For me that would be to forward and causing havoc with future weed control ,,,,,,, do you wish you planted a week or two later
Edit ,,,,, it does look well tho ,,,,, most of mine is going into true leaf stage now ,,,,, planted in the last week of aug it emerged into the cooler weather and the windy spell which means that so far we haven't seen to much damage from FB tho they are staring to get around a bit now

Just about to go out with the glyphosate on one field drilled 11 aug. Combination of beetle, slug and poor seedbed killed it.
Went out with the insecticide last night (again) on two fields drilled 16 aug and 2 sept (re-drill). 16th one very patchy, 2nd one good crop but small and vunrable, needs slug pellets today.
This the field drilled 4 aug;
This will be the cheapest field of the four, and probably best yielded.

There's some ridiculously forward stuff on these pictures. Mine usually looks like that in Feb!!
Mine at (expanded) cotyledon, some pushing 1st leaf. This is normal for this time in September sown beginning of September
