I estimate between 20 to 30% of oilseed rape will be replanted this spring.A combination of dry weather at planting and a lack of snow cover has taken its toll.
I have seen many crops looking like this photo which was taken last week.
There are plants there but they are small and low in numbers.
While some growers will re-plant with spring oilseed rape it is likely that most will opt for spring cereals, maize or sunflowers depending on what herbicides, if any, have already been applied.
