[QUOTE="jh., post: 6961268, member: 527"] Same . Dad's always said get it ploughed before Christmas or it's only half a crop . Only thing I would say is winter ploughing in wrong conditions can be just as bad as March or April ploughed . My worst barley field is one I never even tried to plough in winter . By febuary I was planning to fallow it but then it got dry and the sun came out so took the risk to sow it . It was ploughed April , power harrowed 48hours later , drilled I'm sure 48hours later and rolled tight behind drill . Looked good as I left field thinking it'll be fine . Patchy mess . The oat field pictures near start of topic , had many ploughing attempts form November to mid March. Walking it now the best bit was a single day I got going well in January. Rest is pretty poor and patchy so shows the wrong conditions before Christmas can be just as bad as good conditions in March. Another field that I had left as stubble got a last minute claydon demo and finished with min till , it is some of the best emergence I have had from fence to fence , with just last years combine wheelings showing up . Pic 1 April ploughed mess. 2 claydon . 3 mintill Tough year all round 2020 . Definitely year of the cluster for the world .
