    Is your farm clean and tidy?

    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?

    What water volume do you use for Glysophosate?

    The label says 80 - 250 L/HA which is a huge range. I've tended to go at 200 L/HA to give everything a "good wetting" but wondered what others are doing and why.

    Gatekeeper running very slowly.

    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.

    Disastrous winter crops - cultivate out how?

    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...
