You first .

You first .

with pleasure ,
Will go round tommorow , drilling dates from late september to 1 st of december ,and the worst is the trailed drill we had on demo ,it was a hard pull ,and would you call it tractive compaction ,and even with 800 tyres on downt to 12 psi ,can see the wheel marks ,,rest combied into either ploughed pressed ,min till ,or into un moved ,land that had oats mustard raddish ,butit was moled ,and worked before sowing it as it was a trashed field from last year spuds so gave it a rest ,all look good on a mix of snotty shite through to blowing ,one field after carrots was like ploughing wet concrete ,10 october ,the dry spell after saved it , ploughed water in ,still a puddle about 20 yard square never dried out ,

Is that Leadenham village?

Depends which spire you are looking?
Could be Wellingore or Welbourn.

Lots of small ,low patches where the seed rotted after 3 ins of rain in 2 days,just after drilling,in early October.Wheat sown after looks OK and a bit sown in Sept also not too bad.Overall I reckon last years wheat looked better,at this stage,than now.Might patch up with a little spring wheat.

Beans are good some oats good the rest is bleddy awful

 

[Devon James]

Memento winter barley, a bonus crop of Barbados osr as it wasn't planned but conditions seemed good, and Gleam wheat after oats. All set up fairly well ready for whatever happens next year!

 

[Robert]

It’s my fields after oats that are struggling a bit here, headlands are fine though??

Exactly the same here

 

[Jerry]

Exactly the same here

i had a lot of oats shaken out ore harvest and a big flush of volunteers. I’m sure that’s not helping.

@bobk , 23 September to 1 st December. Pic 8/9 is whereAnglian water have 2 leaks and is flooding field waiting for them repairing it
Beans end November just poking through
24 th September to date 343 mm rain
11 th pic is right behind house on hill top where we had tulips in thst field where we just shakerated 2 tramlines , width and all had oat mustard raddish mix put in 16 July left the two tramlines un touched and put a deep tine disc through rest , un touched is squelchy ,drilled 24 th sept
And oats done with trailed drill 9 th november , where slight slope you can see where gone “ up” pic 3/5breed where harder to pull , wish we had combi drilled it
sont think it looks too bad for 54 mill in last 4 days

The yellow patches in my wheat after oats is exactly where the baler didn't get all the straw picked up. I ought to have got some chicken crap on pre drilling. But it's ok. Could all do with a calm week to soak in, and get some early n on.

Just what we said last week some mango on these light barley fields and some n before they go yellow ,
there was a hovercraft in cheffins , that and a fiddle drill might travel

 

[teslacoils]

It's tricky as I can't get chicken muck on and then come back in march with digestate. Not economic to go with a little of each. In reality, some liquid N and some molasses through a flat fan onto the oat stubble before I work it in would be ideal. But rules!

I think tiller numbers and plants are fine. But the ground is nasty wet now. Due a visit from Mr Plough next year.

Been on a walk today along the Trent on some decent dirt. Lots of nice wheat after roots. On the clay, you can tell which has had the straw chopped.

Mixed bag in N Yorks. Earlier sown osr needs a good frost to pull it back. The last sown osr is disappearing into the beaks of pigeons. Cereals look ok but lots of big puddles in fields and some land drains need attention. No drilling since 10th October as it hasn’t stopped raining long enough. Still 1/3 of the winter cereals to drill. Anything forced in locally is looking poor and the headlands are just a sea of mud.

This was supposed to be a second wheat but I’m struggling to ride the quad bike over the stubble, never mind a plough and combi drill.

4 acres of that field under water. Needs redraining really. Even a stewardship option won’t thrive underwater.

Suppose you could dig it out and rent it to the fishermen
