I complain every year about what a rip off rape seed prices are. Ridiculous.
There is absolutely no need to package it up into little bags and call them ha packs apart from making a good mark up on it. Save your own, its lower risk, you haven't front loaded a lot of costs 12 months in advance

Too much turnip in my OSR. Had to buy some fresh.

Let it go to seed and drive a set of rolls over it? That’s what our neighbour used to do.
The only godsend this year is all my grass fields will sow themselves
Which is ?I’m still growing a variety that’s 13 years old. 1/2 t/hectare more than the new variety grow in the same field for seed.

Surely there’ll be a shortage of certified seed now due to the rain?
Can’t give. As my Identification as a farmer would go. It is a great second wheat. Brought in 2012 I think from kws
don't worry they turn sh1t out in a good time!

Not at 13 years yet but on year 7. Agronomist laughed when I told him but I have customers that buy seed from me and I’ve had no complaints. And yes they know how many years I’ve had it. Cleaned hard so I take the best strongest seed out. Extra fungicide and never headlands. Cooled off the combine and frozen on the first cold nights. My yields are well above area average although I am pushing every crop.

Looking at the average per ton for seed wheat in the uk and ffs you are really taking it hard. That would be double ours frim a commercial grower and your OSR is out right extortion. I pay 12$ a pound and have cut seed rates down to 3.5 lbs an acre because of cost. Find seeding it more accurately is a better investment than more seed.
How much of a problem is Csfb for you, saw plenty of crop damage last year in emerging crops in West Man. Growers seem not unduly concerned and relying on seed treatment and maybe a spray; which is where we were 7yrs ago.
My impression was that growers don't want to see what is unfolding.
