I was thinking 5 -7kg/ha for my combined mix. I was about 10kg/ha and the late August sown stuff was plenty thick enough.

I have a pile of autumn cover crop left over which I am going to stick in next week on areas of failed rape/wheat. Vetches, spring linseed, burseem clover buckwheat and phacelia. Very similar to yours. My only concern is slugs in the following wheat meaning getting it killed plenty early enough...

I have drilled some spring barley in accordance with your thought process re seed rates. Father thinks I’m mad and is worried that it’s going to be flat to the floor! I have some drilled at more conventional rates too so it will be interesting to see the difference. Incidentally we have seen...

You might find a Kellands/McConnel Agribuggy with fewer hours on but they’re rare and so you’re more likely to find a Househam, Bateman Sands that fits the bill. And you get the benefit of ground clearance which you don’t with the agribuggy. We are on our second Househam. No complaints and...

Still use unix (cyprodonil) on barley 🤷‍♂️

We have those tyres on a similar blue tractor doing the same jobs. No complaints and would buy again. Only criticism would be that they are not quite as nice on the road. VF tyres don’t seem to exist for this size when we enquired (18 months or so ago) I presume because of the relatively high...

Worst OSR we've grown in a long time. Flea Beetles were very easy to find grazing until mid-November. Lost 15 - 20% at establishment and they kept nibbling from thereon. If it did get established the incessant wet has hammered it on any heavy ground - where it looked like it might kick on in Jan...

Just goes to show this farming is an art and not a science. I was at 290kg/ha (Lynx also) finishing off yesterday. Father and I have had a disagreement on spring barley seed rates. As he drives the combine I have pulled them back….

Again wrong. A notice to quit can be served at any time under and AHA it is just that they can be contested unlike the examples you give , which are incontestable. In a previous life I did a lot of AHA work.

Started this evening after a quick pit stop to put the combi on having just finished beans. Still got to work a lot of ground ahead of the drill. should be finished by the time the weather breaks on Thursday. Oh and get the pre-em on the beans and get some nitrogen on top of the drilling… I...

You are the tenants, not the partnership. The partnership can pay the rent absolutely. If a new tenancy was granted to a partnership it would not be to 'Joe Bloggs & Co' it would be to 'Joe Bloggs, Jill Bloggs and Jack Bloggs t/a Joe Bloggs & Co.

I would say that was bob on depth wise - dont want to wait 6 weeks for them to come up.

Yes but you can still get your 'golden handshake' tax free.

Yes still got another 30ha to do. Drilled some 17th April last year and were fine. Didn’t combine them until October but that was more down to the crap weather in September than them only just being ripe.

Partnership cannot be a tenant. It isn’t a legal entity - the partners making up the partnership could be joint tenants.
