    NH T7 Rear wheel Rim

    You could try Brock wheel and tyre - got a new set of NH rowcrops off them. I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t supply you with just a rim. https://bwt.uk.com/

    Any one know what the rough timeframe is for hearing about applications now the application window is closed for the first round? I can’t see a date they set to respond by, typically!

    New toy day

    I think it’s so your tractor can do press ups - I’m not 100% though!🤣

    Second wheat varieties

    Good root system on Insitor - key to a second wheat. Another curveball feed variety to try would be RGT Highgrove - ticks a lot of the boxes you’re looking for other than NABIM grouping.

    How much isn’t getting planted

    100% will be unplanted / fallow here. Winter wheat failed twice, not excited at the prospect of May sown cereals on clay which it’s looking like now.

    Bad Debtors

    As @Devil's advocate has said get someone employed by the business to sign for delivery - they keep a copy and so do you. Or, you can do what the likes of DPD etc do and take a photo of the goods in place with a distinct, recognisable, immovable object in the background (shed normally) upon...

    Bad Debtors

    Just keep turning up in person and knocking on the door during business hours and asking politely - you’re well within your rights to ask for your money and it’s what a debt collector would do anyway. If you keep hassling them at their personal residence or place of work they’ll eventually get...

    urea spreading date cut off fast approaching

    It’s a good question - I would argue it’s perfectly safe at the moment into April and I’d be justified in a recommendation. However, the guidance on the RT website states : In England, unprotected/uninhibited liquid fertiliser containing urea can be applied between 1 April and last application...

    urea spreading date cut off fast approaching

    As a FACTS registered advisor I would much rather recommend urea goes on in April in cool and damp conditions than rush to apply it before end of March and see it all pee off into the ditches / ground water!? The metric on safe urea spreading should be day time temp and if the soil has adequate...

    Inhibitors for Urea (solid or liquid) for applications from 1st April

    I can’t understand how RT have ended up the ones policing the urea stewardship!? Spreading urea after 1st April is not a food / feed safety issue, it’s purely a political move reduce ammonia emissions as part of net zero. It’s a bit like saying you can’t drive a diesel car between April and...

    HRW1 and HRW2 - SFI Application Hedges

    The amount of money I worked out our hedges to be across all 3 options isn’t worth the hassle of being limited to cut in Jan/Feb. And I would say we’re short on hedges either at 21km of them! I’d rather sacrifice the few £££ and crack on with the hedges in the dry Sept / Oct.

    Cover crop on clay for spring barley

    Unwanted alleapothy but also all the rotting cover crop taking away N if you can’t get it destroyed early enough

    Cover crop on clay for spring barley

    Our experience on clays is not to bother with cover crops - you’ll get a yield deficit more often than a yield lift. The theory checks out, reality is a different matter. If you do cover crop on heavy land they want destroying the first opportunity you get after your Christmas dinner has gone...
