We’ve been lambing in polytunnels for 20 years but I think it’s time for a fresh look at the system and layout. We’ve always had a central passage wide enough for a quad bike or our Avant mini loader but nothing bigger. In the past we fed haylage and concentrate twice a day in the central...

Got some fungicide, growth reg and manganese to go on wheat and barley but keep getting -1 for a few hours early morning. I’m holding off at the moment, are people still spraying and do they have any bad scorching

I’ve got 45 ha of linseed that I’m due to drill. Situation is heavy clay that was cultivated in the autumn with a Horsch Terrano and left, therefore it’s not quite level enough to drill into without moving it. The temp is very low and there is no rain forecast for the foreseeable future. I could...

Going to give the 2-3 leaf spring barley 2litres/ha manganese, is it worth putting 0.25litre/ha copper in or is it too soon?

Thinking of a new shed for 12 to 14 month bull beef finishers next year and wondered if any ideas on what you would do or do currently. I would be feeding ad-lib grain and ad-lib straw, so had wondered about an out of parlour feeder type units and then no need for a feed barrier. Or if I was to...

Thought I would ask this here for a bit more clarification. Herself has bought a few calves this week for the first time in ages, one to suckle on a cow who had a dead calf, and a few more for luck :-) Popped to Shrewsbury and then bought them from Drayton... What set me pondering was the low...

I may be doing it all wrong but is anyone else experiencing problems? Specifically, I'm trying to change my cropping from last years (Spr Barley and Forage maize) to this year's (all W Wheat) but I've looked and there's no way I can do it Or is it just me?

Today, we released the latest 2021/22 UK crop development report. This shows the condition rating of crops as at the end of March. Although there was some challenging weather during the 2020 autumn drilling campaign, it was nowhere near the disaster we saw in 2019. Over 90% of winter cereals...
