@John kverneland Keep an eye on grass weeds, they are a bugger to kill if they get to big.

Tower on the left. Cassia on the right. Picture might not do it justice but there's a fair difference.

All ground get the same treatment? The cassia really doesn’t have a good colour like the tower

Yeah both the same. It's easy spot a field of Cassia round here at the minute. How much it'll effect things later on remains to be seen.

Cassia always seems to look pale in comparison to others. Is it mildew who. is the culprit do you think?

Yeah. Fairly dirty with it to be honest. At a Teagasc tillage meeting the other night and it seems it's fairly common and were saying any treatment at the minute was a waste of money.

Looks dry with you. We've had shocking rain here on Friday night. Water everywhere, more than we've had all winter. It'll delay any thoughts of fertiliser for sure!

That was yesterday (Sat) Dad said he tipped 15mm out of the gauge that morning and 7mm Fri morn.

Ploughed ground, leached all the niter

Early sown, massive autumn and winter growth, mildew has killed a lot of leaves, it’s 2 row, it does it every year and it’s nearly niter time anyway.

Ah but the ploughing would have released more niter.....
If it was ploughed with a Fendt, diesel would have been produced too so it’s win win
