Would be great to see a timelapse of the drilling into the mustard cover crop, a picture each day as the cover dies off and the Wheat emerges.

So is it only round these parts (Co Durham) that people start drilling wheat last week or august/1st week September? And by drilling I mean 100s of acres. 1 lot seem to think it's too late and won't yield if it's not all in by 20th September

We would have acres under water. River burst its banks already. Meant to peak at 1 when high tide. Luckily mostly still stubble.

74mm in past 7 days

 

[Hobbit]

80mm here so far since Wednesday. Most of it falling in the last 48 hours. All of the BG free land drilled. 250+ acres of mainly second wheat to go and 200 acres of beans. Should I be worried? No.
Am I worried? Yes (bricking it!)
