Tried on cropping but got no response, is there an app or easy way to work out fertiliser required from soil tests. Grazing mostly and bit of barley for my own feeding
Agronomist can’t be bothered with small fry, gave up on them, you need to be spending thousand’s for them to be botheredAn agronomist could easily do the calculations for you. If you use a farm chemicals supplier they will be able to help.
Compound for Npk most indexes 3What type of fertiliser and what elements, N, P, k?
Clover is my plan, lucky bought 27.4.4 in the autumn so have fert in shed for this year. Next year if it stays up, stock will be reduced. Sheep may go as there hard on ground over winter and big sheep boys have all the good keep takenUnless you are intensive grazing , spinning some clover seed on the grass would probably have the best long term effect but do it late summer
Funnily I'd consider keeping more sheep and less cattle.Clover is my plan, lucky bought 27.4.4 in the autumn so have fert in shed for this year. Next year if it stays up, stock will be reduced. Sheep may go as there hard on ground over winter and big sheep boys have all the good keep taken

Cheers what you think winter barley would need? Just my own feeding and strawIf all soils are index 3 for P&K, no need to add any more (for this yr at least)
S.Barley - 100 units N applied 2x 50 units.
Grazing, 25-30 units N
Depends on ground.Cheers what you think winter barley would need? Just my own feeding and straw
