Various contrasting pictures from this Autumn Drilling.

Some pictures of Crops Drilled this Autumn. Some on twice by mistake. The two from the tractor seat are power harrow drilling Oats on fresh ploughing yesterday, in conditions that were really too wet, but once started I committed to finishing that field. Then three pictures of first wheat DD into rape stubble on 28/09/14. Next three pictures of Barley (glacier) DD with the Simtech into Wheat stubble earlier that week.
