Excellent conditions yesterday for drilling our oilseed r**e. We changed the drill over onto r**e drilling (hopper divider in and coulters set in line). Fertiliser was applied at 85kg/ha down the front coulter and 3kg/ha of seed down the rear coulter. This year the toolbar legs are set at 100mm deep, normally we would go at 150mm. The fields are in such good condition it was decided there was no need to go any lower. Only time will tell if that was the right decision.

The legs are set at 50mm deep and the power harrows job is to just level off the soil and not work it down so the tines are above ground. The next pass in this field will be to sow a 1 year silage ley with a combi drill.
