The College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprises (CAFRE) has issued a crop management update, covering cereals and potatoes.
Crops specialist, Leigh McClean, said: “Frustratingly, spring weather has limited opportunities to get spray and...
Just wondered on the state of peoples farms, personally I strongly dislike a messy farm with junk and rubbish getting in the way but not everyone feels as strongly as me it seems unfortunately. Its improving but not its not as good as I would like. How about your farm?
worst I've seen here for years, reckon the rain made autumn sprays short lived and broadway star seems to have done very little this spring
Rye grass and not blackgrass thankfully, but 2024 is certainly not a year where its easy to take a lot of pride in a farm
Is it just me or are others...
I'd be grateful for the collective view.
I've got some reasonably clean dawsum that hasn't seen a sprayer yet:
Obviously some lower leaf septoria as normal, but otherwise clean.
Agronomist reckons 1.1 of Ascra, plus mag man and ccc etc. I'd be interested to know what others are doing in...

think this shows 2 things
1) they will make it as hard as possible (which we already know)
2) they are concerned about competition law 🤔
I am finding Gatekeeper so slow to load and carry out tasks that it is almost unusable nowadays. Does anyone else have this problem? My agronomist runs it and he finds the same.

So dis heartening and depressing when you see it 🤦🏻♂️
Several fields of hybrid rye where the crop has only really survived on top of drains. Maybe 20% of field areas actually growing, so no point patching. No spring fert or autumn herbicide at all. What to do?
Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...
