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

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🤞

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.
