In theory someone with the FACTS qualification is able to assess the current weather, temperatures, soil type, etc and judge that the risk of volatilisation is low enough to warrant the use of liquid UAN fertilisers. If your current supplier of liquid fertiliser is not willing to do this then I...

I like the flexibility of Skyfall with the late safe sowing date, however it can be susceptible to yellow rust on young plants when late sown.

You can have both options on the same parcel with a spring start date. The over winter cover and the legume fallow will be in different SFI years but they will be on the same parcel.

Don't mix SU herbicides and PGR, I omit PGR on anything that has has a spring grassweed spray.

It would be nice if they completed all of the 2023 payments before worrying about 2024 claims.

Run it all through a seed bag into another seed bag a few times, mixes very evenly.

Two of the largest claimants of BPS as I recall, and don't forget The Wildlife Trusts.

Victory in the first battle of the whole RT war, keep at it everyone.

You forgot supply agronomists.

Yes, when you submit the changes they will ask the purpose of the change. There will be an option to tick that you are changing for an SFI agreement, it would appear that the RPA are prioritising these.

Sit down with a piece of paper and write down a realistic scenario that you think could work. You have some stock, skills etc but no land. The estate has the land, buildings?, house? but no labour. The estate wishes to be seed to be involved with actively farming the land but does not wish to...

Yes

If the blend is supposed to be 40-0-0-14 and it is made up of urea and ammonium sulphate the each tonne of fertiliser should be made up of around 763kg of urea and 263kg of ammonium sulphate.

I believe it requires multiple days of this sort of temperature. The number of days required depends on the variety and can be up to around 30 or more.

That definitely looks like ammonium sulphate, your fertiliser is a blend to achieve the analysis stated on the bag.
