Trying to see if I can juggle a few things on one block here. When would SO roughly Be harvested In a normal year say sown late March?
Few acres here. Direct drilled after grazed cover crop... does that mean we are in fashion or out????

One for @CORK
Isabel, heading out, super leaf, great colour and clean as you like, hopefully it'll yield as good as it looksView attachment 67163 View attachment 67164
A strong 10 stone should be fine Nash based on a tgw of 40g.What sowing rate for spring oats lads? Have plenty of seed but just wondering.
Won't be sown till early next week.
Only really tickling the ground to level it as much as anything, so not too bad except for the headlands, but even there it is well able for it. Grubbing stubbles would test it, but no shortage of power, a good bit behind the 6490 for traction alright, it tends to run out of traction before power.The Karat will be making the Massey work

@nashmach , can I ask why the Granlime?Got my spring oats sown today. Averaged out around 10.5st/ac. Some maybe around the 9 mark. Got Granlime during the week and nearly 4 bags/ac of 10-10-20 +S.

I thought @Skimmer would come in and give me a hand picking stones

Oats doesn't like or need high ph.
Won't do any harm, but can't think of any good it will do for Oats, too late now, but just wondering is there a reason I am missing.
Who supplies the 10-10-20+S Nash, I never came across it with sulphur before.Got my spring oats sown today. Averaged out around 10.5st/ac. Some maybe around the 9 mark. Got Granlime during the week and nearly 4 bags/ac of 10-10-20 +S.

Oats is very slightly slower to chit, but more vigour than barley from there, so nothing really in it for emergence, but tramlines probably visible a day earlier with oats.How quickly would one usually expect Spring Oats to emerge? Around the two weeks mark similar to barley? I'll see all the misses then and where it is sown too light.
And What's the general guide on N?
Thinking of going once tramlines are visible. It's about 37 units on it, 100 units too much, 3-4 years in SB.
