osr sowing survival strategy

[Renaultman]

They must be getting really hungry here, can't keep them away.

Pigeons all over the place. No osr though. Never seen so many - putting it down to no shoots this year.

They have been all over my stubbles hoovered up a lot of the barley heads
now covered in snow so they will be getting a bit hungry

Later drilled too? I’m convinced OSR needs drilling direct after winter barley otherwise forget it.

Sumoed into SB stubble first weekend in October , looks pretty good as long as the pigeons keep off, pic was 3weeks ago, got 5” of snow on it atm

That looks really well.
Hopefully I will have that many pigeon shooters today that I will have to devise a plan to make sure they are all socially distant

Got 90ac that was sown a lot earlier after WB that is like cabbages, the pigeons have had a go at 1 of the fields but won't do it much harm as it was too good anyway

Well it made it to harvest, trailer count has it at around 4 to 4.5t/ha well happy. (Just wish I hadn't sold it all before the price rocketed )

ours still in need of some dry air and a gentle breeze been roundupped 13days , similar thoughts ,should have sold some a month ago as harvest as available is down a lump ( but history tells me not to sell before its in the shed)and we will need the space so what to do, 1 sell when cut, 2hold while next spring and sell something else or 3sell it and buy a similar quantity of may futures or4 put it into store and sell post xmas , who knows,im favoring sell and buy futures .Anybody else got a view

The beauty of UOS is you can sell acreage rather than tonnage, no idea which way prices are going so good luck, whatever you do.
