What has changed, nothing we were all moaning about it when it came out , and we are still discussing options 24 years later, come on give us an option stop just moaning!

Just my thoughts!

I have been involved with a lot of people out side of our industry over the last 12-18months, and I am amazed /horrified that most people out side our industry are really not aware we are regulated over our food production systems. Many have not heard of Red Tractor or other Assurance Schemes...

Congratulations to Chris F and the lovely Lucy, hope you have had a great day and have a great life together!!

As the title asks, is there any skill in growing this awful waste of time trouble some crop?? Let me have your secrets!

As the title says is this as important as we are told by the scientists? if so how does Australia and other hot climate countries grow W Wheat.?? or are ALL their varieties only Spring Wheat. If so we all ought to grow a small area of Spring Wheat to cover our backs for HSS as this situation may...

I have today travelled from Spilsby to Cromer and I cannot believe how many fields of drilled cereal crops have had a pre-em applied in shocking conditions, the crops were obviously only just mauled in (and they look crap) who recd a crop which was likely to fail given the weather conditions to...

Well done to the team, as I am a tecky twit, I find this much better than before, also the mobile ap is much better,

I think this discussion should be Agronomist/ advisor led if they care that much about a sustainable system of food production. I will brave enough to say in rough figures a) 35% no till, b)35% strip till, c)30% high movement of soil, I feel its going the right way with my clients. What are...

Well Teresa, you lost, thanks for trying , this has cost us all a bloody fortune, but the country said leave 900days ago so why have the Euro zone not helped us to leave if we are not important?? is it because we are IMPORTANT. Tell them to do 1 , and please lets leave with no deal, you will be...

Is an agronomist with a drone a forward thinking chap or a lazy fella who thinks feet in fields is not the answer! your thought please would be appreciated! Is tech better than the experienced walker??

If OSR is cut at 30c is the moisture that a moisture meter reads what the actual crop moisture is, if the crop is cooled will the moisture reading rise?? are we not reading oil/moisture in OSR as actual water moisture?? sorry for being a bit thick.

Has any body experienced total failure with Atlantis, I mean no sign of soft weed damage even on over laps, I believe even if weather was not right and every other variable I would atleast see something!! Having used Atlantis over many thousands of hectares since it hit the market I have never...

Being very serious and obviously my lack of knowledge , why when a very active fungicide which is systemic has been applied just prior to flag leaf emergence have I not got a flag leaf with no cover for disease ,does systemic not mean it moves around the plant, and we use to be told triazoles go...

With regards to the possible ban on glyphosate I feel we are missing a trick, lets call it Roundup instead of glyphosate, the public and our leaders in government understand Roundup and know what Roundup is," its that great stuff we can buy from the garden centre and kills all the weeds, why do...

Firstly this is not an Indi /Trade argument, or a self promotion post! I feel as an independent agronomist I give advise free of any commercial agenda, including being part of advise groups etc. Most farmers look to use an indi to save money, is this always right?? If it is on the price of...

I have been at a meeting today where , the points we discussed were- How independent is your agronomic advise? (does your agronomist really care about your business) How are we as an industry going to get Joe public onboard? Who should be promoting the UK agric industry? NFU,CLA, or YOU!!(the...

sorry if I have missed question asked before! but who have got results from tested grain and whats it looking like, I think the results will local to me be low! after all the scare mongery earlier in the season, lets see..

I am as guilty as anybody, but if we look back on advise given as wise words on the best thing to do to maximise production, and THEN we listen to how harvest is going for certain people and I wonder "were they wise words"? Your Thoughts please!

If they are experiencing this as I am a go forward agronomist what have we gained in over 70years re actual agronomy, Sorry to bring it personal but my Dad who is 84years always said we have not gained an aweful lot over the years!! I may have read the headlines wrong! so I will apologise before...
