Great video Jake good to see looked a great cover crop thanks for the vid can you keep us updated on the crop growth during it life please thanks Antony 👍 👍
Really informative as always Jake. Great to see drilling into a standing cover. Will be great (as per other comments) to see how the crop progresses. Still not convinced by a crumpet then? Thought it might work nicely on the front of your tractor. I guess that because your spraying glyph and pre em anyway then it would be an unnecessary hassle, is that right? Does anyone else make a cross slot drill? 👍👍thanks.
Ben Pattinson Ben, I’m sure Jake will be along with his answer but my experience in UK is unless cover crop is frosted (-3 to -4) crimping or rolling is very unreliable. We still need to use Glyphosate to kill the Blackgrass (weed that Jake pointed out). If we had no problematic grass weeds we could leave those cover species to be slowly killed through the winter. Ive seen this in France and the thought is that it camouflages the wheat from autumn aphid attack so less need for insecticide.
HawkMillFarm great info, thankyou. Think I might be allowing myself to get carried away with how good the crimper roller would be or more accurately how good it would“look” on the front of that tractor drill combo.
Great video Jake and nice to see a standing cover crop being direct drilled
Looking good jake, great to see some other videos,
Great video. Thanks for posting it. Regards to you all

Antony farming just posted an update Anthony 👍🏽
This is amazing! I wish I was brave enough to try this on my farm 🙈
Lovely video, 👍
Approximately how long after drilling do you desiccate with glyphosate?
Lovely looking cover crop! What seed rates were the various species planted at?

HawkMillFarm so if you didn’t have black grass, you would happily leave that cover crop to die off without the use of glyphosate?
Good video. Just wondered how the pre-ems work with such a high top growth.
Peter Marston worked really well this year, very few weeds around at the moment just a few groundsel’s
Great video Jake! I've not seen direct driling into a standing cover crop before, I though you would have need to flail it down first?
Just wondered what your career path was?
hows the wheat looking now Jake?
Jonathan Hodgson looks very well after a wet old winter!
Just heard through the commentary that it was the beginning of July
When was the cover crop sown?
Simon Travers this was sown after the peas were harvested so mid July I think from memory
