Yes for the moment ,if they can treat the seed or come up with something that will help control Flea Beetle i will grow it again , i have a rape extension that came with the combine 2 years ago when i bought it and keen to try it . Think it was 3 years ago i planted 30 acres rape ,as you now its not cheap to plant ,looked ok till April and within a few days it was gone so ripped it up and put spring barley in

It did well to just pick it up . My 2.75 m Pluton takes some lifting

I looked at one of them stocks machine to put on the back of my Pluton so i could put rape seed in but because i dont have GPS and if i could not maintain a constant forward speed it would be over-seeding if i slowed up , The Bullock Tillage one was cheaper and for about Β£200 extra it had a built on basic GPS for speed same as in Tom-Tom so if i hit a tough bit and slowed up it slowed the seed rate up . I did not buy one as allow i would like to grow rape i am not sure i could control the dam Flea-beetle

We started today around 2pm nice and sunny barley was 13% in one part of field and 17.4% in another part but we kept going ,got about 20 acres cut ,had to keep trailers off field and only do half tank on combine as ground is so soft . One bit on a slight hill i had to get most of it downhill as dug holes trying to go up but got there in the end . We was on land about half-hour away from farm and to make it better for wife carting i called in a mate of mine so they had trailer each and gave them time to keep pushing up . Hopefully get going bit sooner tomorrow allow i have some wet straw to go and try to turn so it can dry so big baler can come in . No photos today as was to busy ,will get some tomorrow
-
at least you are getting some done ,we just keep getting a bit of rain every day and yes i have very wet straw here i was going to turn it yesterday but it had another 6mm dumped on it so left it alone

no photo but lorry did turn up and i had 20 minutes to load him as he was late but had to be on weighbridge back at Ipswich for 3.45pm otherwise he would have too tip tomorrow and that would mess his day up right from the start , he pulled in mine at 2.40pm and said get on as much as you can because at 3pm i am pulling out with what is on as i will have 45 minutes to be back down ipswich docks , i did get full load on but it was a rush
