Centrepin Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 OSR is being sown in the next two weeks. What can I reasonably expect at this time of year and when. Over the last month it's been mostly corvids on bare soil and the odd few pigeon. Neighbouring fields are Barley, Grass and winter sown OSR.

JDog Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 It is highly unlikely that rape of either the spring or winter variety will be sown in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 It won't be OSR, it'll be fodder rape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks, I had a text saying OSR. Hopefully whatever is sewn will provide me with crop protection opportunities. So what can I reasonably expect from it and when?

If it is fodder rape it might be the only green crop in the area in a couple of months time. See the post from Lloydi two days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Shot some big bags on spring rape, usually around May, as been said it does seem a little late for spring rape but it may produce some shooting, the only thing at this time of year the pigeons will be looking for milky barley, but you never know with pigeons, just keep an eye on it.

Hopefully some good sport then as it's at the side of several barley fields (all on same perm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
