    Washing out fert spinners

    ALWAYS wash spinner after every use, even if using next day. ALWAYS wash sprayer after every use of liquid fertiliser, even if using next day. ALWAYS rinse sprayer through after a day putting chem on. TBH I cant see why you wouldn't.

    Well Luxinum with Crystal did a lovely job on the blackgrass last autumn here, thankfully. Had enough of BG last year. Anybody want any Stomp Aqua? (plan was to put it on with Liberator as a follow up)

    Blenky is not happy though From 'The Independant': But Andrew Blenkiron, director at Euston Estate in Suffolk, said he was “disappointed” by the decision. “Given that the industry doesn’t seem to want to prove its green credentials to its customers, I fully understand the reasoning behind the...

    urea spreading date cut off fast approaching

    I read in RT newsletter that any non conformances due to late spreading of uninhibited urea will require the farmer to watch a 45 minute film about ammonia release, rather than suspension from the scheme.

    Open Field and cmg

    I think your neighbour should speak to his group chairman who will tell him what is going on, rather than the rumour mill. Openfield are openly courting CMG members business, they would be pretty silly to not fulfil contracts.

    SY Cheer Grp 1

    Not really sure what it brings to the party. The only benefit is a better untreated yield. On the assumption that it will be sprayed with a sensible fungicide programme that's irrelevant. A Crusoe that thrashes as easily as Skyfall and is OWMB resistant would be good with a 10% yield increase.

    An Italian I know has family in the Po valley in northern Italy. Nothing was sown last autumn as too wet. In southern Italy there are drought restrictions already. Just been to Sicily and wheat coming out on ear. 12 inches high, and probably 1 t/ha.
