[QUOTE="Clive, post: 5873238, member: 6"] Sorry David but that’s not at all accurate I would have loved to have got as far as feeding pigeons with them but the truth was emergence was so poor there was nothing for them to eat , pretty sure our agronomist [USER=307]@richard hammond[/USER] would concur ! I do think the pre-em recommended was probably the reason, a bit hot for our soils maybe There was so little crop that accepting the first loss is the best loss and growing a summer cover crop was the best option - the good news was the following wheat crop out performed any wheat ever grown on that field by a couple of tonnes / ha and has been a lot better ever since so the summer cover did pay back eventually Same the year after ..... twice, can’t say I didn’t give it a fair chance, I would have loved to make it work, we really need more spring planted break crops but this clearly not a crop for us I’m sure its a good crop in the right situation / soil type and don’t doubt others are successful with it [/QUOTE]
