Bamford second wheat seems to really enjoy growing behind the Claydon, nice to have a modern variety with a willingness to grow.

[Louis Stephenson @StephensonLouis]

@Jes_Squirrell Yes regrowth post spring barley

[Louis Stephenson @StephensonLouis]

Spraying some land off for a customer this evening, Blackgrass on flower mid-November 🤯

@turbotechdog @Elsomsseeds Bamford in the ground for the first time here, first wheat for a long time that seems to have a willingness to grow 👍🏻👍🏻

Claydon post OSR, Avatar post beans. Emerging crops look fantastic

[Louis Stephenson @StephensonLouis]

Drilling commenced in earnest this week. Is it too early, probably. will I regret it in May, probably but my god it’s lovely to be drilling in the dust, old but gold Skyfall @220kg/ha

[Louis Stephenson @StephensonLouis]

@RichMadd86 Unintentionally tried it a couple of years ago on some land that was going for building, gave up with it in the end as it had very little spring vigour

[Louis Stephenson @StephensonLouis]

@ArableSam Depends on the field and the situation

[Louis Stephenson @StephensonLouis]

Sunday session on the straw rake, last pass before the drill

[Louis Stephenson @StephensonLouis]

OSR getting thirsty
