    SFI 24 no till payment

    Just wondering if there's any further information out yet as to what constitutes no till in the eyes of SFI? Is it a dts/mzuri/claydon direct into stubble?

    Wireworm

    We have temporary grass in our rotation for hay. I’ve recently noticed some wireworm damage creeping in from the headlands. I had a dig around on a few dying plants and found plenty. I’m thinking beans for 25 harvest then a legume/linseed cover. Anyone got any better ideas advice?

    Who counts the bee population

    Production of some crops has been decimated due to the loss of insecticides over the last 20 years, sorry 45 years. Has the bee population increased, if not why not?

    What should the replacement for SFI look like?
