[QUOTE="Mr Charisma, post: 3112724, member: 2907"] Stratford Mop is when the fair comes to Stratford , all the local farmers want to be drilled up by 'mop week's but times are changing . This year has been quite a laid back drilling campaign in the end , but I will have to learn not to become complacent next year , 23mm of rain we had last night , with normal soil moisture that would be enough to keep us off our marl ground for 1 to 2 weeks and even then we would be wanting favourable conditions to dry the ground out . But the bit that worry me on this delayed drilling malarkey is what yield hit will we take , drilling in the week or so before Stratford Mop we can see yields of approaching 10 ton / ha , drilling a week or two after the Mop and yields of 5 to 6 ton / ha are not uncommon around here Yes we have spring planting we can fall back on , but I already have a acreage built into my rotation but could I cope with any more linseed ,,,,,,,, doubtful , would I plant anymore spring barley , that's a difficult one , everyone is planting the stuff around here , I hope there's a market for it all , spring beans ,,,,, got enough winter ones in the ground ,,,,,,,,,, may be I could make my fortune out of spring rape Some how I don't think so [/QUOTE]
