They can alert you to the presence of leather jackets (and they are probably the only cure now…). That’s the only service I can think of for now.What good service does a Rook bring?
All they seem to do round here is take..
I don’t think they do much or anything for slugs unfortunately. Never saw crows anytime we had a serious slug problem (which has been more than once!)Eat slugs? Never sure if they do. Sometimes it’s helpful for them eat leather jackets before crops are planted.
Seeing them over emerging wheat, I always like to think they were helping me with the slug issue.......and I chucked pellets aboutEat slugs? Never sure if they do. Sometimes it’s helpful for them eat leather jackets before crops are planted.
Plough them in 10inches deep and they will comeHow deep can you plant beans and they still come up? I’ve got a Claydon drill coming next year and will do beans with that. I’m theory it would be good to plant the beans really deep and of setember.
Maybe on Fen soil, ploughed a load in here 7"deep on some clay soil, a few came up but never made a cropPlough them in 10inches deep and they will come
Not fen. Skirt land, medium. I wouldn’t aim for 10, prefer 8 but that’s never a problem.Maybe on Fen soil, ploughed a load in here 7"deep on some clay soil, a few came up but never made a crop
I think mine went over like plasticine and am pretty sure the reason why they never took, ironically the field name is "Bean Field" lolNot fen. Skirt land, medium. I wouldn’t aim for 10, prefer 8 but that’s never a problem.
Ok into March with TundrasHow late can you plant winter beans? got some tundra home saved seed, and some land that has just been stubble turnips and been grazed off by the ewes. It’s far too wet to do anything yet. it’s either winter beans or spring barley, but would quite like the break crop

Last two years I’ve planted Wizard in April with a jd750 because it was too wet in October. Not huge yields but both years between 3-4 t/ha. The only problem was they were only harvested around 20th September both years at around 18%mc as they just weren’t drying any more in the field.How late can you plant winter beans? got some tundra home saved seed, and some land that has just been stubble turnips and been grazed off by the ewes.
