Was thinking roll to make the bugger tiller. What variety if you don't mind me asking?Not sure there's to much to gain by rolling due to the thickness of the thatch but happy to be educated on that, but definitely want to get some Activa S on asap
Good thinking, not an avid roller, so only do it when I have to, if I had GPS then I would be keener but yes, that would be a good idea, most that have seen it in the flesh seem to think its pretty thick, but can never have to many tillers in this situation
.....and its KWS Barrel drilled at 210kg/ha with JD 750a

Looks good, follow this one with interest. What’s the greenery? Twitch (couch grass) and clover? Bad to tell from photo on my phone.

That is looking quite promising, is all 200 acres drilled with Barrel?
Thanks, its certainly an interesting/stressful journey, quite a lot hanging on these next 3-4 years getting it back into an arable rotation.
Just 100 acres drilled, wanted to start with a 5 year rotation so some Pea's or Beans & S Barley going in to spread the risk, plus something else, but not decided what as yet
Next year will be WW-WB-OSR-WW-Pea's if all goes to plan

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to diss your wheat [emoji264] establishment as it looks really promising. I was just wondering what it was and if it will posse a future problem.

I’d be more worried about the wireworm next year, they’ve probably got enough to eat without having too much affect on your wheat. If you go for a second cereal don’t forget the Austral. Other than that beans might be a a useful option.
W Barley will follow half the W Wheat, so will get Austral, W Wheat will follow the Beans or Pea's and whatever goes on the 46 acre block I haven't decided on as yet, but will be getting Austral for the next 2-3 years just to do all I can
As Spring is getting close phase 2 is getting in the thoughts and how to deal with another issue.
I’ve inherited a lot of these in the fields .......
they have been cut with a rotary trencher and the spoil thrown approx 20m across the field. Other than employing a person with a bulldozer just wondering what other suggestions may be forthcoming ?

Plough in from each side and then level cross ways? If not good man on a 360 or bull dozer?
Think they’re 2 deep for the plough, plus they are in random patterns, some linked by buried pipes.

I filled some deeper than that with a six furrow semi mounted conventional plough. I just ploughed a full furrow into the trench with the rear of the plough shallowed off a little, then moved out with the plough set even shallower and so on. Then repeated until level, it worked fine.
