Drilling Commences

Drilling commenced on Monday 20th April with Ricardinio being drilled under perfect conditions into predominantly rolled land, which behind the drill is leaving a great job. Thanks to ideal conditions within just 6 days we have now managed to drilled 34% of the area as well as 30 trial varieties into the one trials field. DAP is being applied at drilling just below and to the side of the seed, which acts as a very important starter fertiliser for getting the crop away quickly. The forecast for this coming week looks unsettled and so this could slow down our progress but any rain will certainly be welcomed as seedbeds are drying out now.
