With large areas of our winter wheat averaging more than 11t/ha, OSR 4t/ha and spring barley 9t/ha, last season showed the value of good establishment, sufficient sunshine and effective disease contiol. Despite the dry start, it's very much a case ofso far, so good this time around too.The early September drenching Hampshire received would almost have been too much for our OSR if we hadn't direct-drilled most of it. It was spot-on for vigorous hybrids sowed straight into well rain-proofed surfaces in late August, supported by starter fertiliser and buckwheat/fenugreek-based companions.
