SFI Options and Grassweeds
What are people's thoughts on how they will manage Blackgrass and or Rye Grass in options like Wild Bird Food or Legume fallows?

Glyphosate ban on European milling oats
Something to watch! Looks like glyphosate is being banned as a desiccant for milling oats in Europe, not here at the moment but I suspect it might happen. Is there anything left in the arsenal to desiccate uneven crops? C B- crazy_bull

Is SFI panicking farming suppliers?
From some conversations I’ve had recently, I’m getting the feeling there’s some panick in businesses that rely on farming customers that large scale SFI options could become very popular.
