    UK Farming Protest - Start organising...

    I really don't believe this is a genuine farmer post, seems like sh#t stirring to me. Who are you? What is your motive?

    Battersby fan Club

    Pretty sure the latter too, such is her obsession with her pet project and so called legacy.

    She just blocked me, not made any recent comments to her, just liked some criticising posts!

    OSR this year ?

    All my zero tilled (with Sky drill) osr has failed, only cultivated area has survived. Can only assume high slug pressure due to wet summer, with cultivations having the affect of reducing numbers? Still can't find many slugs though, and are very rarely a problem here. Usually the opposite, zero...

    Sustainable farming incentive - handbook for 2023 has been published

    Likewise. The way I read the email, we won't be able to apply for the new standards until end of January, six months after they are released. Penalised for being an early adopter, typical.

    Poll : Have you signed up to SFI ?

    I have signed up to entry level but only because I pretty much do all the requirements already. But can only claim 66% of land because of double funding rules as I have Mid Tier cover crops. If I was baling everything, grew less spring crops etc. it wouldn't be worth it, there is little...

    Sustainable Farming Incentive is open for applications

    Absolute joke that those in Countryside Stewardship cannot apply online today with everyone else. We have to email to ask apparently. I look forward to the reply in two months...

    Univoq / Iconiq drip stop issues?

    Sprayed Questar Wednesday/Thursday this week. Had 3 blocked nozzles but didn't think much of it at the time. Had a closer look at the nozzles today and at least 12 were partially blocked with little bits of rubber. Very annoying to have a compromised spray pattern on one of the most...

    Univoq / Iconiq drip stop issues?

    Questar is Univoq without the prothioconazole. Not noticed any problems with diaphragms yet but looks to have caused corrosion on the metal work of the booms.

    Avatar / 750a cost

    Nope. Suspect I could get a little more off on the JD though. List for the JD is 87k!

    Avatar / 750a cost

    Costs vary quite a bit with spec, but from recent quotes around 64k for 750a and 75k for Avatar (well speced).

    Urea vs Nitram

    I get roughly half urea, half AN - best of both worlds and can exploit their different traits depending on the conditions at the time.

    Winter wheat yields

    Second year here with Elicit. Not a pretty variety in the spring, seems to get yellow tips when stressed and especially after Pacifica application. Firefly in next door field with same treatment wasn't affected. Looks ok now but much prefer the look of Firefly, which also has a slightly less...

    T1

    All my Elicit has tipping too, but Siskin and Basset in next door fields don't. All treated the same.
