Different but whatever works for you. If you made a good job of raking and burning the straw you won’t need a min till drill to sow it your accord should be fine after the discing.

Yes not the normal idea but uncle says he's not spending all winter chasing rabbits off winter cropping:banghead:.All rabbits coming in from neighbours:mad: Rather drill spring so it gets up and away from them. Did make a good job of raking the linseed up looked more like it had been cultivated by the time we finished:ROFLMAO:

Nothing faster than the accord only had it for couple of years, just thinking about drilling on settled ground after winter saving the pass with a cultivator before drilling. Also suffer from loose ground and magnesium deficency in the spring even after using a landpacker(y)

It might be sad after winter. Quick whip over with a springtine drill and roll. Maybe

You tease! :p:D

There'll be a Canterbury lynch mob after you if you're not careful :whistle:
Helps to have lots of cover in the dry..
Our seasons follow yours so had a fair idea it would be dry and will be wet...
..... with an early winter by the looks.
:eek:

You can keep that.

Actually, post your supercooled dihydrogen monoxide crystals to @Jon Boy and @kiwi pom (y)

Not much "work" goes on around here, opened two gates today as you saw above.
Went out this afternoon and teased some more grass into rows for the man

And topped another paddock here tonight, forgot a picture, about as thick as this baleage crop though :facepalm: might need to run some bullocks around on it to kick it out of the rows :rolleyes:

Rain forecast :joyful::joyful::joyful:

I felt sorry for the sheep which were huddling under the hedge so I put an artic straw trailer out for them to get under and a bale of hay to go with the turnips.

A few from the last few days.
