Great job if you can travel and don't mind the stink
He's not applying it to grassland.

I have seen it done with wheat/barley but not OSR. Can't see it would do any harm would it? Spread thinly mind, it can be very potent.
Only downside is that driving on the crop is going to potentially bust the plants more so than cereals would be damaged.

Anything he does is likely to be nuts with a capital N.
Never suggested he was. Botulism can be spread in the air, wildlife etc. Thought you would know that

It’s layers no dead birds in it
Why?
Applying it to crops is a far lower risk than it to grazed pasture. Thought you would know that
Thanks a lot ollie!!!!!!!!!!!
I call it thinking outside the box and we are trying different approaches to others some work some don't .
The first to dd around here
The first to rake straw stubbles. Even though it is a homemade contraption .
The first to use cover crops .
The first to spread chicken muck on to growing crops around here .
So the nuts of Dorset we might be classed as but the neighbours seem to be following .

Better a Dorset nut than a Dorset knob.
Have those fence posts been sat in your engine oil long enough yet? Surprised the stuff hasn't evaporated having been sat there since 1984.
They are holding up wire now

Does spreading chicken muck in spring work?
If it doesn't work, you can blame the neighbour's raking
Oh yee of little faith , cant fault the raking it will work just as long as it makes money got to give Soya a go again as osr looks like it is now getting risky with the amount of flee beetle numbers rising year on year .
Even have some regrowth raddish with shot holes in the new leaves now .
