I just wanted to inform my TFF friends that I will be moving to new pastures. As from mid-October I will take up a role with FMC. Thank you all for your input/comments/questions. It was great to see some of you at the Adjuvant Academies. I am sure the chaps at De Sangosse will continue to...

I notice an interest developing to possibly run another Adjuvant Academy for keen members of TFF. A quick show of hands to see if it would be possible please. I am thinking early June (before Cereals week), with a venue in the middle of the UK somewhere and it would be "freeeeeeee" to attend...

Now is time to consider your Pod-Stik application in OSR. If you apply now, rather than in with your desiccant, you will protect the tramline shatter, save time and allow you to choose your desiccation timing according to harvest date. On a 24m headland, the area of the tramlines is 8.3%...

The Metaldehyde Stewardship Group has launched an enhanced campaign for 2017 to ensure maximum protection of the environment, and in particular birds, small mammals, and water. Speaking at the launch event, Simon McMunn, spokesman for the Metaldehyde Stewardship Group (MSG), explained why the...

With this mild wet weather I am observing a fresh hatch of our slimy friends. Do keep on your guard. In most situations it is probable that you shouldn't need to treat, either the crop has grown away from grazing pressure or mother nature will take care of the problem for you. If you do need...

Just a heads up - we are getting close to the ideal timing for Pod-Stik in OSR. 1 litre/ha. 100-150 litres of water if going alone. If you are at cereals, come and have a natter.

Please be wary next week of elevated slug pressure. If we get the expected rain the slimy little bugas will be on the surface with a vengeance. I am currently trapping young juvenile greys, who will be hungry. All the talk around drilling, do remember to get the rolls out before the rain and...

Anyone going on Wednesday? If so, come and visit the Metaldehyde Stewardship Group (MSG) stand/position. Come and have a natter.

Anyone going to Farmway (Mole Ag) Croft event tomorrow (Friday 20th) If so I'll be chatting about Radiate etc. :-)

With the recent rain (for most) coinciding with drilling, you should now be actively monitoring for slug damage. Even heavy dews are enough to stir activity, especially with the mild conditions. Early sown rape that has got away should be passed the vulnerable stage. We are trapping here in...

A MSG (metaldehyde stewardship group) mailing may be dropping on your door mat over the next few days, please take a little time to read it, any questions please drop me a line. Thanks.

Anyone going? Is so call in at the MSG bit and say hello. http://www.tillage-live.uk.com/

Our local trapping, after the recent rain, is showing high populations of slugs about here in Cambridgeshire. Now that harvest has started, what is the view from my TFF friends across the UK of the number of slugs in the stubbles etc?
