    With land drying slowly but surely, now could be a good time to roll out and level all hoof marks made in fields last back end when the weather was miserable. Anyone ever roll land this early or would it be counter-productive?

    gave up rolling years ago as it depresses growth ,now i might do around gaps but that is all ,its a great way to burn expensive diesel or to teach the young fella how to drive.

    yes too early, all you would do is seal the pours in the soil and distrupt drainange, give it another few weeks!

    good points, bit some land does need to be rolled before its closed for silage if the surface is uneven or has lots of dung on it

    Aye, that was my POV. Anything that I'd roll would get a run of the aerator shortly afterwards anyway so drainage shouldn't be adversely affected too much.
