Beet sprays 10-12% up this year , trim the rest to suit the weather , went 5 week interval between t0 -t2 as so dry . Between 5 farms over a 30 mile radius I deal with every Agrii recommendation for wheat and barely was identical, certainly not classing farms or crops as individual . One even informed me they did there 40 ha over the phone !!! In general someone’s got to pay there wage and pension increases .

Think agrii is the worst for it. My guy been coming in for probably 15plus years and always been good until getting taken over by agrii. Now , I'm sure he's under pressure to push the home brews as has gone from being the type who says to use cheap DF manganese , to now....use this mitra expensive stuff . Or use cheap 3c to now use adjust . Always gives a good reason for the home brew , almost like he's read up on the sales crap knowing folk will question it [emoji849]
