What does that work out at? We just drill at 180-200kg and it seems to sort itself outBasically, 12 stone an acre works!!!
I've read various papers over the years which advocate high or low seed rate and everyone seems to contradict the other.

Seed is going to be an issue going forward, I have some over year C2 in that I can dress for next year. The breeder it came from may have planted some over year C1 for seed but I haven't heard anything yet. Sad really it's a bloody great wheat for me either as a first or a 2nd but particularly as a second as it gives that early chance for OSR.Having not grown it for years we put a field in with the intention of saving it for seed. Nothing we have tried yet seems to fit that early harvest slot. Complete seed failure (suspect it was redressed 2020 seed) put paid to that.
I’m not sure it is counter intuitive.Just seems a tad counter intuitive to increase row width and put the same number if seeds in. If you're getting good emergence with soil moisture etc, and not the bg flushes from moving less soul, and drilling pretty early then I'd be thinking of cutting seed rates. Ah the days of drilling 90kg/ha of Claire in the first couple of days in September.
I’d be very wary of reducing seed rates in a high BG situation.Agree. Need to try some different rates
187kg/ha so bang in the middle of what you, me and probably the vast majority drill at.What does that work out at? We just drill at 180-200kg and it seems to sort itself out
12st or a bag and a half to the acre nowt wrong with that.187kg/ha so bang in the middle of what you, me and probably the vast majority drill at.
I have not seen anything down here that comes half way close to that, you must of got it in early!
That's pretty much what I do, all HSS but starting mid September and up to 250kg by October but we're way North of you TGW notwithstanding and baring in mind Grafton is a very heavy wheat.Start at 200kg in early October. Add 25kg a week. Ish.

Still time to roll it?Spring wheat closer to 300 than 250 kg but still looks thin to me . Could have done with rolling but never got it done. Some heavier stuff looks better but some worse.
I’m not sure, been through with manganese and magnesium today and blw will need taking out soon.Still time to roll it?
