Wheat drilled on the 19th September pushing its third leaf. Although it’s not ideal in terms of grass w**d control and BYDV, being this close to Chichester harbour brings challenging soil conditions over winter. Having it well established before the weather turns is key 🔑

Oilseed R**e pushing on nicely away from flea beetle damage and black grass is beginning to show nicely. A few more days of sun ☀️ and we should be past the danger point!

Stubble turnips on the move now we have had some rain ☔️. These will be an important crop given the shortage of forage going into the winter this year.
