No, but if hadn't put the preem on already then I'd have done mine.

We rolled our seedbed 10 days ago, and that was a first on me. It’s lovely to have such a dry autumn overall.

Yesterday and today we have been rolling wheat drilled in the last few days.
I have some September drilles winter barley that I'm tempted to roll.

Are you talking about emerged wheat?
I was rolling wheat after sugar beet middle of week.
Certainly doesn't feel like the middle of November.

if I knew how much rainfall we would get and wether it was in torrential long lasting downpours over the next 3 months could make the decision wether to roll or not easier ,as it is the vast majority of our crops have emerged well and are growing away in firm but friable seedbeds. ( conditions at sowing in our favour rather than any super skill) and would cope with winter rainfall better than the last couple of years so leaving well alone until spring to see if and why

I’ve held off a lot this autumn as the press on front and big packer on power Harrow , roll it enough in my opinion . Everything has come up well and can be rolled in the spring if there’s any frost heave or stones to push in .

Drilled some wheat after osr was ripped up yesterday, a dry field just on the edge of some clay cap, definitely too sticky to roll. Will push the flints down in the spring
