Was hoping to roll some drilled last night but overcast and cloudy so too sticky to roll. Need a bit of drying weather

We ve had the heavy SHOWER tonight game overDrilling oats and beans here. DIfferent fields mind. Potential for showers every day this week.
What is that cover please?

Snap. Fudging irritating, everything was just getting nice and dry now back to waiting again. Did manage to finish the beans but they really didn't want raining on before they got rolledWe ve had the heavy SHOWER tonight game over
It's forage rape/turnips regrowth. Spraying off got delayed. Luckily sun came out today so pitched it off.What is that cover please?
Drilled last of spring barley here today. Mauled in 5% of the field but since rest was perfect it will have to do. Started drilling my little patch 21st Feb. Most done 10-15 march. Seems like a long drag to do not very much. Back on beet to morrow if no rain.
Rookie mistake? I used liquid for 15 years or so and timing is always headache. At this time of year scorch won't matter. I came to the conclusion that any applications after GS 31 should be solid. It just feels better!20ac of sugar beet left to drill on my heavy ground,just not dry enough last night,5mm over night,so thats put pay to finishing that job,then to move back on to the last of the spring barley,just over 67ac to drill,on b/g infested ground.
Back on the liquid fert now its drizzling with rain,must make a note,not to apply when the is sun out,rookie mistake .
dont use liquid but know a few who use solid for late dressings to avoid scorchThat's interesting I'm leaning towards liquid but most of the people i have asked say scorch is not an issue? This is against a bit of resistance from others on the farm so i want to be sure. I can still use solid but for the late passes I would like to use the sprayer as i have rowcrops for it and not the tractor.

In my experience scorch isn't that damaging but IME it is an issue with later applications. One hears all sorts of advice but any application can scorch because sometimes it is dictated by the subsequent weather which you have no control over. My particular favourite for heavy land was "do it when it is raining"!!That's interesting I'm leaning towards liquid but most of the people i have asked say scorch is not an issue?
