Need to get a field of wheat treated with some post-em chemical (late pre-em). The weather is set to cool off a lot from tonight for at least a week. I would happily have treated it earlier in the week while warmer but it was too wet to travel. Am I likely to cause significant crop damage doing...

This seems to have slipped under the radar but if you have anything to say about digital passports then AHDB have consultation open now https://www.farminguk.com/news/consultation-on-plans-for-digital-grain-passport-to-soon-commence_63682.html

https://www.fwi.co.uk/business/compliance/independence-of-red-tractor-review-under-threat So both AHDB and NFU have promised independent reviews into Red Tractor to dampen the flames caused by the farmer outrage over Greener Farm commitment plans It's easy to promise such things but HOW do you...

Why are the farmers weekly making out there is some sort of male/female divide in agriculture? As a female involved in farming I don’t see we are any different than any other industry you see plenty of female lorry drivers, vets, doctors, nurses etc. Maybe they are just hoping a few more...

Managed to get our relatively small wheat acreage drilled in October however we have about 10 to 20% bare patches where the seed has rotted in the ground and nothings has come through. Agronomist says to patch up with Extase wheat seed when it drys up as its a vigorous variety and will make...

Hello all, Apologies if this is a stupid question... but just wandering if there is any need to join NROSO and what the benefits of joining are? I've only recently got around to doing PA1 and 2, we've had a contractor do the spraying for the last 20 odd years. Looking at potentially doing a...

What happens if I drill winter wheat in the spring? I'm assuming the world won't implode and I am also assuming it's less than ideal however, will I have a combinable crop? I have extase wheat here that I would like to have seed treated and then plant in mid april next year I keep having...

Would like a good but cheap £30-£40 wireless weather station with one external sensor showing temperature and humidity on it. My Ferdinand International Marketing Ltd C-8105 has died.

Hi - I'm looking for some advice. We have several fields that through neglect have built up dense rushes over the last 15-20 years. A couple were drained in the 1980's / 90's, one was not although does not seem overly wet. Soil PH around 5.6-5.8. P&K fine. Some although not all of the land may...

Anyone doing an aphid spray? Agronomist thinks I should on the early stuff (drilled end of Sept), but I think only to cover his arse. I’m not convinced, especially with all this rain, wind and now cold we’re getting. Be hard enough to find a day to even spray it.

Question as above, what’s your set up? currently have an office in the house which isn’t horrendous but does mean there’s a mess all the time and it’s not really big enough. Plus I’d like to turn it back in to a dining room! first thought was a site office type thing but would like it not to...

What's the procedure ? same as autumn sowing or different , appreciate it's going to be high seed rate

Looks like spring my spring barley area is growing but I didn’t get chance to keep any clean barley for seed. I have some that has brome seed in it and when I got my beans cleaned i showed the sample to the cleaner and he said he’d struggle to get the brome out. What other options have I got to...

heya, i have 200 acres of grade 3 land in oxfordshire... i've inherited from my dad and i'm really keen to take better care of my soil to preserve the farm for my own children, but struggling with the financial impact of losing yield from reducing inputs.. does anyone have any recommendations...

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland Adding placed phosphate fertiliser to seed beds at time of planting will help boost root development in newly established cereal crops. Ben Haste, an East Anglia-based agronomist with Farmacy said: “This is particularly so in cases where crops are...

What price is it this year

As we are not RT, it appears as if I will have to jump through the hoops to get our VAN from the Vet... I have spoken with the Vets, and they are happy for a visit to see an animal, that will suffice for them to tick the boxes, and as I have few if any fat animals ready to go, I am happy to...

This is Iris fodder radish from @Great In Grass which has grown well. This is the most advanced plant, with most still flowering. Will it set viable seed now? These pods have immature seeds at the moment.
