Spring drilling

[britt]

Well, the spring drilling window has closed well and good today.

It has for most crops. I might to try one of the more "exotic" ones on the 35 acres that was too wet this week if it dries in time for millet, canary seed or something. But I suspect I'll end up leaving the wheat volunteers and grass to mow and bale for the expensive straw trade which then won't materialise.

21ha of spring barley left, going in this week.
It will more than likely come out of the ground as quick as the stuff drilled last week with it being cold and miserable at the moment!

Thursday evening about 8.15 pm at Thurlby Fen just south of Bourne I heard my first Cuckoo of the year. Salutary I thought.

Calendar farming doesn't work.
Feck the cuckoo, hope he falls out the nest!

Yep. The Urea rules are a point in question. This past few days temperature barely into double figures with regular showers to keep soil damp followed by 10mm today. Hey ho The regulators no best.

Exactly, easily more favourable for urea than an.

Exactly, that saying was clearly coined by some smug git who’d got drilled up early..
