yankeedoodlepigeon Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi. Local farmer was out weekend with a seeder on the back of the tractor over wheat stubble thought he was just setting it up but the whole field has been done. Does this save him ploughing it again if planting the same crop or does it sound like he is having trouble with the seeder? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Sounds like he was direct drilling winter rape, minimum tillage. They do it quite often up here, no need to plough, just disc it and drill it. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeedoodlepigeon Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think thats good news for me then. Pigeons should be on the stubble for some time yet then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
