[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 4866654, member: 1233"] I think this is the answer, we’ve had spring barley yield well sown in mid May. It’s a balancing act between going in in ideal conditions ( and having the b*lls to wait for them ) and the soil conditions for it to get away quickly. The difficult bit is that often the weather after sowing also makes a big difference and without a crystal ball it’s just a wild guess. Soil type also plays a part but fortunately the lighter ground that you can sensibly drill earlier on is the ground that you’d need to drill earlier because you’d be worried about it drying out. I think that people in the first years of no till still think about ideal drilling time as they would if they were cultivating forgetting that cultivated soil loses moisture the equivalent of 50mm of rain.
