[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6089586, member: 166"] So far, yes. About 1-2% is looking precarious from poor establishment and some flea beetle grazing. The plants, well, most of them actually, that have CSFB larvae feeding inside them look like they are hanging on ok. Looking around here, there are a few write offs, plenty that look backwards but over half looks ok. Maybe we escaped the worst of the epidemic? 2" of rain over the Bank Holiday weekend in August helped most out. I agree about alternative break crops. Most of the others like peas, beans, oats and linseed have to do very well indeed to compare with the net margin of a 30 cwt/acre winter osr crop. Great for those with options like maize or rotational grass leys but not here. Growing maize on chalk is tricky without a good layer of muck and the nearest AD plant is a long way away. [/QUOTE]
