Is there a big difference in terms of the outcomes of all these systems or does it matter that much?
12:41
I look from experience on the ground and also the trial work that we would have seen in Oak Park that there is really not much difference in final yield in relation to any of the different cultivation or establishment systems.
12:53
But I suppose the key thing there is that there is different management at zone that you kind of have to follow if you are depending on which system that you're going to take.

I suppose we are like, you know, the general sowing date of oilseed rape is kind of anywhere from now in the north, in the northeast, anywhere, you know, up until kind of mid-September down in the south.
13:17
So there is a range there of a sowing date depending on your location.
13:20
I think this year could be slightly different given that we are in a situation where seedbeds are so dry.
13:26
To do any cultivation around where I am in Leash here, South Kildare, is very difficult at the moment.

Does this become a more tricky operation this year because of that really dry soil?
