Slurry will get dear

In a bad year, with poor grain fill, the best sample in the field is usually along the hedge back pass, where the crop was N starved and thinner because of border trimmer devices on spreaders.

It will if we all clamour to buy in somebody else's waste disposal problems.

We’ve done that for a few years, works well. I wouldn’t do it on land with no structure though.

Wouldn’t bother with nitrogen then just plaster on both

Maybe pick your fields

my pig farmer neighbour has one field of barley and all it gets is a big dose of slurry, often quite late.
I combine it, and it’s never far away from my yield. I think last year it was better.

Admittedly it was 30 years ago, but our local estate were using their pig slurry for top dressing. Their crops were either yellow or flat

That is the big problem . How are you applying

I had a bit play with Turkey muck this spring, stupidly never left a control strip but without having a yield metre it would only be a guestimate anyhow.
Just 1t/acre but would chance a bit more if it hasn't gone up to much ( I have no doubts it will have gone up somewhat)

I have the ability to melt down urea, I wonder if putting say 5kg/ha equivalent of this liquid in as a foliar with sprays could be a good way of getting better N use

Not me. The estate local to me, years ago. For some reason, to add to the mess, the machine they used had three wheels

Use umbilical system = no ruts

I think there is a lot more to be done on the umbilical systems and high fert prices combined with the loss autumn application will see some some stellar leaps in how we do it.

Properly a stupid question. But is there a reason why you cannot up the seed rate of winter wheat. Say 300 kgs/hec and reduce nitrogen use and still get a the same tillers a metre. Or am I wrong in thinking that.

Was quoted 460€ for 33.5%, but that was last week.

Looks like we are getting shafted for our own gas
