Hello! I’m a 2nd year vet student at the University of Liverpool. I am hoping to find a pig placement for this summer.
Although I haven’t a lot of pig experience, I am enthusiastic and more than keen to get stuck in and learn.
I am free various weeks between June- end of August. I’m based in the north east of England but have transport so can commute within an hour or if not would ideally be looking for somewhere with accommodation.
Thank you in advance!
Growers and agronomists now face the dilemma of an early application to remove competition from emerged wild oats, or holding off to allow more weeds to germinate.
Syngenta grassweeds technical manager, Georgina Wood, urges Axial Pro treatment as soon as conditions allow, once weeds are actively growing.
“That offers the chance to control wild oats more cost effectively at lower rates, whilst there is still the flexibility to tailor application rates up to 0.82 l/ha for larger or over wintered weeds and difficult situations.
“The variability of crops and situations this season means decisions for appropriate Axial Pro rates and application techniques will need to be made on a field-by-field basis,” she advised.

The union said that the new Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) designation, which came into force across Wales on April 1, poses a “significant threat to the economic viability of Welsh farming, the overall impact of which cannot be underestimated”.
According to NFU Cymru, these regulations “effectively make the whole of Wales an environmental ‘at risk’...
