[QUOTE="Derrick Hughes, post: 8765133, member: 473"] I don't think Corteva would be very pleased if I started sharing there trail work before it's even Published , but if you want to see first hand come to their open day next Month And your selling jibe don't hold water I sell a full range of Brassica seeds , I don't care what people sow but I will offer them advice if the need it And why then would a seed seller be advising to sow brassica seed at a lower rare . I have told you many times that I put more grass seed on that's recomended, but customers I will stick to the recomended seed rate Trail work is not aways straight forward , the grass seed trails have been hit by the dry weather so germination is hard to judge apart from the Hybrids Ryegrass being far ahead of the Perennial, which is understandable But back to the point Turnips won't bulb if sown to thick If your unsure in mid August about the weather and the prospect of rain then sow Forage Rape and up the seed rate , it will Crop a lot better that trying to get a leafy crop out of Turnips sown to thick Seed rates are set for a reason that's very important where root crops are concerned With grass seed it's more about cost unless the mixes contain Herbs and Legumes But yes you are right we do share our own experiences but I have the added avatage in that I talk to customers and farmers all day long and visit a lot of farmers who also share their own experiences with me I'm up near Builth today [/QUOTE]
