[QUOTE="Feldspar, post: 7126770, member: 386"] We have a very peculiar situation this year and I really don't quite know what to do. In our stewardship scheme we are going crop - fallow - crop - fallow. So we have kept our stubbles from our fallow last year which had zero black-grass seed return (we hope) because we didn't want to cultivate and ruin the clean surface we had created. The problem is that this means we are no-tilling into a cereal stubble with a disc drill which has caused us problems in the past. I think in the next week were are going to get as close to perfect drilling conditions that we could hope for. The land is quite heavy and with a mat of straw on top a few good rains and shortening days could easily be the end of chances of good establishment. I am thinking we will start next week sometime and accept we will face issues that you identify that we normally would avoid. [/QUOTE]
