Been snatching drilling S Barley with a combo drill between showers over the last few weeks. Not much got rolled before it rained. When is it safe to roll it once it’s up ?
I wouldn't be brave enough to find out but I think you are probably wrong. I would wait until 3 leaves myselfThe rolls won't hurt it as it comes up. But the tractor wheels will unless it is all well and truly up.
With wheat, you wouldn't hurt it at any stage it is coming up.
I've done it (whilst sh1tting myself!) and it was absolutely fine.I wouldn't be brave enough to find out but I think you are probably wrong. I would wait until 3 leaves myself
Why were you doing it at that stage?I've done it (whilst sh1tting myself!) and it was absolutely fine.
Could believe how the field turned from brown to green in a day.

It was about 25 years ago, in North Suffolk. We had planted a 60 acre heavy land field with 1/2 rate Baytan treated Haven 2nd Wheat. The field had been ploughed with a TW25 pulling a Dowdeswell DP7E+1 and press.Why were you doing it at that stage?
Pre em ?is there any need to roll? Breaking clods will disturb ground and release blackgrass. Obviously important for combine and manganese def but cant see much point?
Stones in this part of the world.Pre em ?
aye you grow them for fun over your wayStones in this part of the world.
Pre-em only on SB??? Not sure without checkingHow long would you need to leave after rolling before applying post-em Crystal/Lib?
Axial pro or liquid gold!?I rolled my stuff drilled a month ago tonight, manganese, and some phosphite next week and then axial in another 10 days
