Pöttinger has expanded its Terrasem seed drill offerings with the addition of the V 8000 and V 9000 8m and 9m models. The trailed range now has four models from 4m to 9m working widths.
With land continuing to dry out, there may be opportunities to consider planting some spring beans early, but it may still be too early for spring cereals.
October is a very safe planting time for winter cereals and the emphasis should be on getting wheat and barley planted now, with the latest planting left for wheat.
Unfortunately, building soil carbon levels and ploughing are not compatible bed-fellows. They’re as incompatible as Leo and Mary-Lou, writes Gerald Potterton.
There is still a level of interest in planting cereal crops and winter beans might also be considered as a break crop on heavier ground, if conditions permit.
Weather conditions over the past two weeks have enabled a lot of spring planting to be completed, as well as work on winter crops and the last of the 2019 harvest.
While there may be less urgency to get recently planted crops sprayed with herbicides, there may be opportunities to get this done over winter but do not spray poor or very stressed crops.
