Quadrants 4 or 5ft long about the easiest size to shift.
Agree they are best the size the user wants.
5ft cheaper and quicker to wrap when averaged over whole field as there is correspondingly less of them.
Talking to an agronomist and stating our spring wheats been slow to get going and he reckoned all the rain has pushed the oxygen out the soils. That is then slowing root & shoot development.
I was just saying it’s the continual rain that’s keeping soils cold and slowing growth.
Not sure who’s...
Spray off before planting. Pile on plenty of woodchip mulch. Seek out a local tree surgeon or gardener with small chipper. It will keep moisture in and keep weeds down.
Owen Paterson when he was DEFRA SoS granted extra funding and they dug out the river Parrott IIRC. There will always be flooding but the recovery is a lot quicker when a man made/managed river is working to its full capacity.
Bit off topic!
Mostly, went up but grassland went down to account for new calculations. IIRC those were decided by ADAS too!
In any negotiation both sides will argue their case and will want to win something, be it concessions or financial outcomes.
Micheal Gove has a lot to answer for. “Public money for public goods” was the mantra but the definition didn’t include food as that’s not a public good! :banghead: :mad:
Underspending as been due to slow roll out of SFI. Had a pilot and 2022 scheme which they’ve now cancelled.
Torys did make a manifesto commitment to maintain Ag budget at same level until 2024. Therefore they politically had to roll those funds forward into this year or would be berated by Ag...
We haven’t had support for food production since 2004. The introduction of SFP in 2005 was a payment to keep land in good agricultural and environmental condition. Food production support needs either deficiency type payments or IACS type payments paid on a productive area. Deficiency payments...
SFI was never was going replace BPS. It’s still based on an income forgone funding mechanism. If your get better than average yields, SFI should not be benefit. It’s just that very few are on better than average yields with this years weather. The flexibility to reduce or increase has led to...
I said in another thread about SFI cap that the weather has reduced our production by around 25%. 15% from unplanted and 10% by reduced yield expectation! :banghead:
Yes the governments preferred options did include no uninhibited Urea applied at all in England!
We would have lost Urea completely without the lobbying from AHDB, NFU & NIABTAG to get the “option 4“ agreed.
EA & DEFRA and NGO’s have completely swallowed the research from NT26 that was done in...
We had a machine with an incorrect number plate. Insurance had the fake one and never queried it. I’d raised an issue with the dealer, that it showed different on their online manufacturers system.
Had an off road claim in that time too.
It was only after 5 years we realised we had never had a...
I probably wouldn’t. It’s only the loonies here thinking it’s an issue. If it’s so much of an issue ban all foods that use Urea in the production process!
Our Urea period is 1st Jan to 31st March. Newly implemented this year and already under review. Could still be completely gone in a couple of...
EA wanted to ban Urea In UK.
NFU, AHDB etc managed to convince them to allow Urea before 31st Mach with inhibited urea allowed after.
Still import crops grown using it :rolleyes: :mad:
