Got a 100ha block of good looking wheat with varying populations of blackgrass in it.
Will double break next with spring barley then either winter or spring beans.
Question is, what do I do after harvest?
Cultivate shallow to encourage bg germination then spray off and repeat?

Search "swing jib crane" on eBay. Just had a look and there's loads on there. Also some good YouTube videos of Morton Buildings in USA where there farm "shops" are something else!
No didn’t mean park it all in one shed but would like to get one or two tractors in plus one other machine in there and be able to work on them if needed. I have a 30x110’ Atcost building and am thinking of putting a lean-to off one side about 25x60 which would give me a 60x55 shed but with 2...
Looking to build or convert a shed to be a dedicated farm workshop. We are 1200ac arable farm plus contracting. Would want to get a couple of tractors plus a combine/sp sprayer/tractor and drill in at once. What should I be considering in terms of size, doors, lighting, security, heating, etc...

A friend in Scotland put 140m3 of liquid on in 13hrs this week with 2 big Agrifacs and...

Budgets cut in real terms. (I sit...
Went to 100% liquid about ten years ago now! One of the best decisions I've ever made. Wouldn't go back! All product is kept on crop and with GPS shut-off crops look so even. No bags, freed up sheds etc
It's all about attitude, mindset and management! Rotation plays a huge part but that can help with no-till too. Lots of big farms with 2 big tractors currently with one cultivating & one drilling. Sell the cultivator and buy second drill?! Not sure who biggest UK no-till farmer is. Most really...
