Pressing on at a pace to try and beat the rain that is due in on friday night. We are now drilling at Blankney Estates on Lincoln Heath. You can see by the size of the drill we are not long getting a few acres covered here. The variety is Style supplied by Churchs of Bures. This is our third year with this variety, and it has performed well for us in the past so we have a larger area this year. It matures four days later than Twinkle which allows us to overlap our drilling. Spring did arrive late but at the end of this week we should have in the region of 800 acres in the ground. A good start in good conditions, with good seedbeds. The weather next week does not look promising!
