blade Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Was hoping that one of the farms i shoot for would have got his beans in this week 400 acres with the weather being good ,But spoke to him today and he needs rain as the top of the fields are like concrete to hard to drill can see a hose pipe ban coming on.Found a few hundred still droppimg in on the rape so fingers crossed for tomorrow.Weather looks a bit iffy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuy Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 just found a field with 300 plus on some spring barley drilling, but the farmer here has been struggling with the ground and has drilled and some seed on top so i am also hoping for a good day tomorow !!

alastair0903 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well apparently I am getting a day off tomorrow so I think it would be rude not to have a go as I usually never get the chance . We will see there is just short of 300 acres of bean drilling to choose from so I will start with putting bangers out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I was on a field of drilled beans yesterday and to dog was almost picking her way across the drilling, she looked like she was on hot coals. The ground was like rocks. But when I was setting up there was noting much left on the top. I wish farmers would go back to the old fashioned drills.
