Don’t forget that you’re not just controlling disease; you’re also protecting for the future and it’s a long way till harvest. Not to mention the yield enhancement in the form of prolonged greening…

Repair and fit an air seat. Will transform it and make you feel like you’re in a different tractor.

I think it’s just so area dependent; I’m friendly with a neighbour of yours and he always starts combining at least 10 days before us and I bet we (south lincs) start before @DrWazzock Straw on this Lincolnshire non abrasive, moisture retentive soil just stays green forever and can be like...

Still a good average!!

I’ve kept a worse looking field than that! I think you’re right though….i cut some spring wheat into the holes which looks good; but the gappy winter wheat is awash with blackgrass 🤦‍♂️

I’m trying some Miravis this year. Not very exciting on yellow rust but supposedly the best on septoria and it will be going on some Dawsum anyway. As with most modern posh chemistry….usually needs a bit of teb to make it work on rust 😂

1 milllllllllion dollars

I refuse to get involved so use an agent to do mine. The last one he ticked every single ridiculous box. The inspector actually said ‘I have to find something wrong’ so I wouldn’t count on a clean slate being useful

I usually turn it round to them when people usually park at the end of the drive (blocking our access) to take a break, change a wheel, have a wee etc…I ask for their address so I can come and do the same thing on their drive. Usually shuts them up.Why the hell should we shed blood sweat and...

After being promised a roleplay session with three young men resulting in her getting wetter than she’d ever experienced before; Helger felt rather shortchanged…

I don’t think anyone was having a dig at you at all; more protecting you.

It’s a good cleaner. I use it on the stainless steel bits (intake hopper etc) and it brings them up like new. I also soak my nozzles in it and measuring jugs. As above; a few tanks of liquid fert is hard to beat as a cleaner

Conviso meant to be fairly handy on blackgrass… never seen anything very exciting pre em wise. Is Avadex approved at the mo? Eamu or otherwise?

Not to mention ‘nobbly’ tates that you can’t peel in a rumbler are more likely on heavier land

This. I’m sure in theory most blackgrass seeds last about 7 years with a small amount 10-15years…I wonder if this work needs re doing as I’m fairly sure after this year 10 years plus would be nearer the mark…

No doubt; but those areas will be a lot less dense than where I sprayed off

I’ve already sprayed some patches for the first time ever…ears were already out and flowering in some cases. This was a week ago.

You sure?!

‘Pre’-ems were never actually intended to be used before the crop was up. Things like Avadex (granules) were; to rattle through the straw onto the ground and create some activity even when it was dry. Then the residuals would be applied peri- or even post-em. Then some bright spark found out the...

It will have had 5+ years of testing…but unfortunately it won’t have experienced the sh*t storm of a winter like we’ve just had. Also; to get good data, trials are put away from headlands; away from dodgy hollows and in the better/finer soil of which you speak.
