We now have new season crop of CERTIFIED Barkant Stubble Turnips available in 25kg bags for immediate dispatch.
Lambda, don’t usually do them if I can help it but no choice this time. Whether it will be effective enough who knows

Well I’d have thought it should. But no one else seems to agree!!Is this lack of establishment going to affect store lamb prices I wonder?
Hard to fathom that people are not more cautious. Even if we do get rain roots and grass need to do a lot.

Exactly. If our turnips fail that’s 2500 lambs worth of feed to find at Christmas. In which case I don’t want the sheep at any price! Be hard enough feeding our breeders if we don’t get some more rain further down soon!
Think I have lost mine now.... Germinated and then missed the rainfall 3-4 weeks ago.

A Barenbrug bred variety, your customers will be delighted with it.Using Barkant in some mixtures this year

A little story, when they had Barkant they knew they were onto a winner and quickly registered it for ag use and whatever else needed to be done to keep it exclusive for a few years. Then someone registered it for horticultural use, exclusivity was short-lived!

Didn’t you say, upthread, that yours was overwintered stuff, kept back from last year (when stubble turnips were practically unavailable late on
)?No problem with that particularly. I’ll be drilling overwintered (over several winters I think) seed tomorrow, and don’t anticipate a problem… as long as that rain arrives.

I am anticipating seeing the storms splitting when they hit the Wrekin, and missing us.... again.
#I am picking up some Rumevite blocks for the tup lambs later. As the Bossman said, "it's nice and dry about, and you won't have any wastage...." An omen I feel
Get 'em bought!!
