Do any of you spread FYM on growing crops? Cattle out and ready to get sheds emptied. Thinking would save so much time to spread directly on the fields just now. Have wheat, spring oats and spring barley. Any one any experience here? Any specific threats or benefits to be aware of? On which crop...

What measures to you take to protect water quality when washing your spinner? Surely any amount of 2 metre buffers are irrelevant if poor washing techniques end up with all the N, P and K entering the water courses at the end of the day when we're washing down. Trying to improve the way I'm...

Looking for a used and sensibly priced 4 metre drill to go behind a Claas Arion 620. Approx 145 HP. Have got the tractor on duals all round to leave minimum possible compaction. Tried pulling a 4 metre Horsch Pronto last year at a local dealer and worked a treat but these are quite expensive 2nd...

Can anyone post photos of establishment with one of these drills and also then of the growing crops at different stages throughout the year? Any specific pros and cons or limitations to be aware of?

Having tried (and basically failed) with a Claydon drill a few years ago and now gone back to conventional methods on a WW, SB, potatoes, WW, SB, peas, grass rotation I'm looking to potentially take a 6 acre field(so neither really here nor there in terms of size/money!) out of grass(been grass...

Why? Wouldn't it make more sense to cover the whole worked area (so disregarding strip till/no till)? I always notice that the overlapped area on the last pass of the headland with the drill is always very clean and the combine fills up quicker there. Have upper seed rates last few years but...

We've always put ours on in the spring of the year, basically as soon as ground is dry enough to travel nicely. Any benefit to applying at this time of year? First wheat after vining peas and tatties.

Does anyone have any experience drilling grass into wheat stubble at this time of year? Cut field yesterday and chopped the straw. Lightly disced it today. Plan to sow and heavy roll tomorrow. Bit of a step into the unknown though. Anyone done this before? Any tips(or reasons to wait until the...

How much tractor horsepower do you have per acre and why(if especially high or low)? Thought might be interesting to get an average figure here. I'll start; combined 220hp over 550 acre farm, so 0.4hp/acre. That figure could probably be less. 130hp tractor for all main field work, and 90hp...

Looking to pick up a used Minimat drill or something similar, furrow press unit complete with basic seeder for one pass ploughing and sowing. Don't care about cosmetics, as long as it works. Seen a few on YouTube and look great bits of kit.

Anyone got any experience strip-till drilling spring barley? Claydon/Mzuri/Sumo etc(they all do the same thing, just different colour). Plan to try one field this year for the first time. Had mixed success with winter crops over the last few years, any errors mainly due to poor decisions but...

Has anyone got any experience establishing cover crops by broadcasting them into standing crops a few weeks before harvest? Looking to try this and would be interested to know of any experience any people here have. Don't like the idea of delayed sowing then poor establishment and crop never...
