A tractor and chain following the combine for every stroke of the field, and the combine on duals. Jesus the flashbacks.

How?? Was a pure bitchAutumn of 12 was quite good tho
The weather was better in autumn 12 than it has been here anywayHow?? Was a pure bitch
At the moment it looks like we will be lucky to get 10% planted this autumn down here!There's a thread on here somewhere from that time, from memory most growers down south planted most of their winter cereals in 2012. Up this way it was 10%.
As often remarked on here, it's amazing at times the difference across the country.
Gone is about an hours drive from here and was sowing away yet down here in south Wexford, it's so sticky and damp nothing has been done bar some ploughing. Even trying to get slurry and dung spread over the past week has been a messy enough affair.
No harm there. I upped the rate I generally sow at this year as well to allow for conditions not been brilliant.Tower sowed last night in the dark. Afraid to even look at the field today. Far from ideal conditions as had being ploughed a few weeks ago but had pressed it which helped. Had intended to sow at 12.5 stone but a mistake calibrating means I put on 14 or 217kg / ha!! Might be no bad thing based on conditions time will tell.
I was talking to a merchant that has €30000 worth of Deter dressed winter barley seed and if it is not used it will have to be dumped as the Deter will reduce the Germination . Very few going to sow Winter Barley in Dodgy weather .
I knew lattitude reduced germination but did not know deter did it as wellI was talking to a merchant that has €30000 worth of Deter dressed winter barley seed and if it is not used it will have to be dumped as the Deter will reduce the Germination .
