    OSR this year ?

    Around 45, was better the year before but the yield was consistent. 48 is exceptional, best oils we got came from being late getting round to dessication

    OSR this year ?

    It's DSV Duplo, it has been very good the last few years, high oil content too. And seed well priced. Only thing is it can get very tall and thick stemmed, which is good in a drought but takes some dying off and combining. Thinking of trying Dolphin as it's shorter but then that doesn't have...

    OSR this year ?

    Got the flowering spray on yesterday. Definitely our worst year for flea beetle and stress growing, but the hybrid has really pulled together especially after the final N. Was thinking of going back to conventional but it does seem you really need strong vigour to get through the season these days.

    Fertilizing winter cereal

    Have you looked at Potash plus? We use that alongside NS liquid for two passes. Muck seems to keep the P levels up high enough

    Belkar in OSR for fat hen/small nettle? 🤔

    I usually let frosts in the winter sort most of them out, money better spent on helping the crop get away in the spring once they're out of the way. Your osr looks plenty well established enough that it won't bother it to much.

    Harvest 2023

    I got offered export up to 1.9 last year, trader reckons they'll be keen this year as Danish crop is poor. Currently getting ours tested and thought it looked rough but he said it was some of the nicer stuff he'd seen!

    How Best To Manage Dirty 'No-till' Stubbles Post Harvest Pre Drilling /Also Breaking the BYDV Green Bridge?

    The machinery companies really have performed a masterclass when you think about it. Everybody got sold a 100k plus drill that can do everything and traded all their cultivation gear in for pennies. Then when you start getting some issues they can supply a new LD subsoiler, straw rakes, maybe...

    Varieties For 2023

    Got once round the headland last night in first field of Typhoon before rain came in. Seemed to yield well but it's sprouted very badly in the ears wherever laid compared to Graham. No use for fss as planned. Going to try some Oxford and maybe tapestry if i can get hold of it this year

    The stores round here are nowhere near full like they were last year, close by estates getting ton an acre at best. People giving it up for the risk/reward. I know they don't want it to be, but i can't see how it isn't 450 minimum

    Norac sensors

    Oh really, i bought a second hand 42m machine and im pretty obsessive about fiddling with settings. After getting the deadzones, gains tweaked etc im really happy with it, happily cruise through some of the roughest headland trams you could throw at it now. Just want extra sensors for when...

    Pulling power 6250r vs 828

    We've got an 828 and 724, both lush tractors. Just thinking of changing our older NH tractor for something affordable that can still do some good pulling with potential to pull the drill with a full hopper faster. Is the 6250r any more comfortable than the 6215r? I've driven them a fair bit and...

    Pulling power 6250r vs 828

    Don't want to make a Fendt JD bashing thread but i was just wondering if anyone has experience of the pull on a 6250r compared to an 828? On a vaderstad rapid 6m for example?
