Winter Bean intentions?

With the sudden turn to wet conditions from the Midlands southwards has anyone changed their plan for sowing winter beans for crop 2024?
Who has already gone early? Winter bean drilling advice normally targets the mid October to mid November slot but PGRO is aware that some growers go earlier and we would love to know how you get on.
Others with other experiences of wet autumns have gone late, even in to February. Equally we would love to hear your experiences and the impact on your rotation.
Perhaps Beans have been displaced in favour of other options. If so which direction are you taking and why?

Winter beans and oats going in as I write, after maize. Drilled about the same time last year, bean yield impacted by weather at pollination time, but a good stand of plants.
