Interested to hear how late you would consider drilling wholecrop peas & barley in the Southwest on heavy clay soil? New to growing this after being recommended it for a protein crop. The field has just got dry enough to kill off with this intention or should I just be going in with maize...

Sprayed T1 on my wheat and it has scorched like hell mainly older leaf’s .Overlaps look terrible vimoy + Kestrel + 1ltr ccc + 0.15 moddus mix any ideas? So dis heartening and depressing when you see it 🤦🏻‍♂️

As per title. How many days gap do you recommend from rolling to applying manganese sulphate. (Presume there's no frost forecast) Spring barley, emerged about 10 days, then had a sniff of Mn, then 7 days gap, then rolled. Now wanting to put more manganese on.

Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.

Anyone doing it? I've got a poor field of wheat which I was in two minds about keeping but now stitching in a low rate of barley in it. Be an interesting experiment

Just knocking a few ideas about. Before epoxy was banned we used adexar 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) epoxiconazole and 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) fluxapyroxad. Would buying straight fluxapyroxad and adding .5 of teb do the same thing. Would work out at £22/ha as apposed to revistar at £51 or vimog plus...

I’m after making a ad lib feeder for brewers grains I wouldn’t have thought they’d flow in a normal ad-lib barley feeder any suggestions appreciated cheers

Ok, putting the Winter/Spring rainfall aside for a minute, is anyone else finding this a strange Spring? The local Reading University soil and air temperatures (link below) have been well above seasonal average, but I’m finding everything to be so slow to get away this year. We are now into the...

Anyone done one yet with Feb/mar born lambs? Just started to notice the odd mucky bum, need to do a FEC count tomorrow to check levels of nemo as wells guess.

Hi all, my winter barley never received a pre em and there is now meadow grass in areas of the field. Will anything touch it? Will need spraying for wild oats, will axial pro just knock the meadow grass and it will recover? Tia
