I am curious as to why you start ploughing in the middle of the field?View attachment 70777 View attachment 70778 View attachment 70779 A few pic when sowing on the 5 Oct.
View attachment 70784 Was sent this earlier the field we sowed on the 5 Oct this part was stubble and this is the second crop of oats after grass.
Is that what it looks like?For f#€£ sakeView attachment 70946
Finished up the oats this morning. For once I had the drill calibrated bang on.

That's all nash. It doesn't give any bother blocking in the back so I've never bothered doing anything.Have you only the one shaft in it!!!
I probably won’t listen if it’s not the answer I want to hear but if it what I want to hear it will be great!!!! When do lads consider it to late to sow oats, it’s very dry ground on top of a hill and water won’t lie on it.
So anytime from now until then ....it’s most likely a spring variety so late April is probably the answer.
obviously, crows are quite keen on porridge on winter mornings....

I have given up on getting winter oats in at this stage. Middle of next February will be the soonest I would go at it again. I had both winter and spring oats this year and all in I was happier with the spring oats.I probably won’t listen if it’s not the answer I want to hear but if it what I want to hear it will be great!!!!

Oats is probably the one that isn't worth panicking over as you could put it in like you say next Feb, a neighbour put in a field last week and it's getting a fair pestering from the black fellas.I would find mid Feb better than mid Nov.
