Anyone else seeing a big grass weed explosion with this wet weather? So depressing rampant ryegrass and blackgrass in fields that looked clean post Christmas.
Any resident experts on this
Bought a machine with two 3 phase motors . No 3 here
Is it cheaper just to buy two new single Phase Motors
Or alternatives?
Sorry if it's in the wrong place
My uncle was king of electrics could do anything but sadly no longer here
Parting ways with our agronomist and the parent company which is a well known, supposedly well respected and reviewed farming/ management service company.
Long story short, lack of agronomist visits, agronomy done on timings rather than in field situation, non existent weed control this season...
Not for the first time have I read of a direct drill comparison and found the best margins were obtained by quite a large percentage by a more conventional approach. ( This weeks FW )
Is it possible that DD and cover cropping can work and can be successful but if you are not bothered about being...

Looking to catch a favourable wind and sail the high arable seas is the new malting winter barley from Elsoms, Buccaneer. CPM hears about how this variety is setting a course to try and fly the flag for both the malting and feed markets...
What do you do, I have always been 120 keg/ha, but never make malting and so I think I should either up it to 150 kgs and go for yield. What do you find works and what sort of yields are you getting.
mine is planet and we seem to be around 6.5 t/ha
I know it’s bin covered time and again but what is everyone using for it at the moment and best place to buy online
Only a couple Ha
Little lad wanted to grow some crops
Thanks

A word of caution….
I sold my 2015 Amazone UX3200 sprayer a few weeks ago because it had done 70,000 acres and it was also tactically the right thing to do from a deprecation/tax point of view.
i bought it new, and I can honestly say it never once let me down. Ever.
I wanted a new Amazone...
Tell me, please, which used harvester is better to buy: Claas Lexion 480 or Case IH2388?
Which harvester will be more reliable in operation, as well as more productive? Combine Lexion 480 has more moving parts, but what's really going on with the cost of off-season maintenance on these combines...
I am wondering aloud. In order to protect the efficacy of Broadway Star and use it less often than twice in three years or every other year what would be the next best spring herbicide to use?
There will be wild oats and brome mainly as well as broadleaves.
Would you use Broadway Star again...
A title that sums up this section of the forum nicely, I feel.
I seem to have rather more ewe lambs kept back for tupping Autumn 2023, than I originally envisaged this time... Best laid plans, etc etc... ;)
I have now got 50 odd lambs in the Solar farm, and anticipated feeding some hay to...

Looking for new tyres for the combine, the one on it at the moment are rotten and 30 harvests old size is 30.5r32 so would be 800/65r32 I presume.
Thoughts are probably BKT, load ratings look ok, has anyone got any experience or other suggestions. Putting a bit of money into combine at the...
