You wouldn’t roll here but we got 2” rain last week
I often did pre em without rolling too
Not ideal but not a disaster either

What's seed availability like for beans at present?

No bother I’d say

Two weeks in the ground today and moving away. The crows seem to be leaving them alone for the moment.

That’s because they’re all over here having a party eating my spring wheat and oats

Hopefully they will take off quickly when the weather warms up next week . I find they are most vulnerable just as they peep through the ground .

Hopefully by the time they are peeping there will be plenty other crops in the ground to occupy them.

how deep did he plough? broadcast and ploughed in.
Would seem ideal way to do some years with weather etc?

I don’t know what dept he went with the plough, I wasn’t talking to him lately. They were broadcast and ploughed in. It has worked out very well for him, all the mild weather we had would have been a great help.

Beans are emerging sown 19 February. I do not think the crows have done much damage.

 

[John kverneland]

Everyone sown up with these? Just getting going myself..

Some sown in places but the area is set for a major reduction again, sow away - they’ll be up quick and away from crow trouble

Fanfare sowed last week Feb

Would spraying nirvana in this dry weather (godsend!) Be advisable or wait God forbid for rain. Ground is like pepper..

Wait a while

Considering the heavy dews we are getting and if you have a really finely rolled seedbed, I’d spray it. Water at 300L/Ha if possible.

Despite it being dry, weeds will start to germinate and so will the beans.

Just my opinion

No sign of rain on the horizon, I would spray with Stomp Aqua, (a lot cheaper) late in the evening or very early in the morning

 

[John kverneland]

Will the nirvana have any effect on stuff that's growing? Like rubbish the plough didn't bury? Didn't roundup the fields as having problems with ground being too brittle ( earth sticking to boards)

The nirvana came with the seed

No it won’t do much for established weeds. I’ve seen people apply glyphosate on bean fields before the beans come up.

Some roundup can be used pre-emerge on beans.

It's very minimal I'm not going to worry about it anyway cheers lads.
