[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7781236, member: 44728"] Drill earlier. If you are DD’ing, you can afford to drill earlier in good condition (in the Autumn), because you are not moving much soil and releasing nitrogen which means that emergence is much slower. You are also not disturbing anything like as much Blackgrass, which then doesn’t want to grow. I’ve cut my pre-em amounts in half this year, thinking that if I need to top it up to full rate, I could go back post-em. No need so far and probably won’t need to at all. Here is a bit I drilled on 15th September into Linseed stubble. [ATTACH=full]989882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]989883[/ATTACH] I am fast coming to the conclusion that if you can Direct drill earlier into good conditions, we should all be doing so. And I’m the one who famously quoted that I had given up ploughing in my farming career 3 times and there would never be a 4th! When I consider that I’ve already saved more money by DDing and reduced Pre-em chemicals /ha than the BPS comes to AND yields are just as good if not better, it just seems an utter no brainier! I’m shocked to say so. But I need to thank all of you on this thread for your input and advice, as well as [USER=3357]@Warnesworth[/USER] , [USER=166]@Brisel[/USER] , [USER=1232]@SilliamWhale[/USER] and [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] . I also really wonder if Simon Weaving actually truly realises what a fantastic drill the GD actually is! [/QUOTE]
