Wheat drilling 2019

[snipe]

Wish we were thing about wheat drilling here, still holding off on some reseeds due to no rain since early June!

Where the chuff do you live, I want to move there.

Planning on starting next Tuesday.
Only because we’re cleaning the seed on Monday.

not yet cant see the point in lining the chem mans pocket, our best yields and more importantly margin come from sowings between 22th sept and 15th october ish. Though it varies due to weather post drilling which end does the best, outside those dates is a no if at all possible we reckon we need 10 full days to sow in a period of 24 days

Lot of black grass germinated so will give it another month.

Too dry here. Barely seen a blade of BG except in drilled OSR........

 

[Against_the_grain]

Need to drill the OSR first...

How yer diddling.

At £110 or less, is it f**king worth it ?

 

[spikeislander]

Cracking on cultivating here should be all pressed twice by mid week next week then it needs a rain desperate .
Can sit for 3-4 weeks before we consider drilling much if any of it

We are the eternal optimists . I shall be growing a lot less cereals this year .

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Next week is the plan

Will be drilling abit earlier this year compared to the last few on a lot of our wheat. Seem to be on top of blackgrass now and more importantly we will Be zero till drilling into stubbles that have had no seed return on them this year. From experience I think if you cultivate and have blackgrass you have no choice but to wait until the end of October. Cultivating breeds blackgrass.

 

[farmer92]

We’ve started cultivating and will be drilling wheat soon. I was drilling on this day last year into some ground that benefits from early planting but that’s now in a stewardship scheme so nothing much before the 1st Oct here.

 

[Wheatonrotty]

Little point thinking about it here till we've had some rain. Tend to wait until into October normally anyway.

 

[Adeptandy]

Next thing will be looking for a dry day

I’ve taken a screenshot of that!

Ha, that’s only on fields with 3 years no wheat and no seed return. There is some which have a higher blackgrass burden which are cultivated for after 20th October.

3 yrs spring cereals is working here but you don’t need many winter crops to be back to square one!
