    Volunteer OSR in a herbal ley

    Putting some MOP on a couple herbal leys this afternoon and there's quite a few volunteers mainly behind the combine. It's two years ago that it was in OSR. What to do about it? Top them as they are coming up to flower? Would rolling put them quiet? I want to mow the fields for silage ideally.

    Spring beans.

    Looking at spring beans as a break option for some failed OSR this coming spring. Has anyone experience growing? Heavy land. Understand a fairly low input break crop and have a market for them local. Toying between that and a kings soil structure mix saw good results five years ago the...

    Will fodder radish set viable seed now?

    This is Iris fodder radish from @Great In Grass which has grown well. This is the most advanced plant, with most still flowering. Will it set viable seed now? These pods have immature seeds at the moment.

    Glyphosate in with pre-ems?

    It's chuffing windy I want to go drilling. I have some big weeds (groundsel, thistles) but not many grassweeds in the seedbeds yet. From memory you're only allowed 1.5lts of 360 post drilling. Is gly with pre-ems a waste of time? Thanks!

    OSR - Leave it to ripen naturally?

    Normally I nuke it with glypho. But some old neighbours always use to leave it to ripen naturally. This year, as ever, timing of the glypho looks tricky. Some is green, some is dead and will smash out under the sprayer belly. It hadn’t ripened progressively up the plant. Sims have died off...

    Haymaking 2023

    I know it's very early still, but looks like my neighbour is making a bit of hay on a small field that he lets people camp on. Couple of others seem to be underway with haylage. I've just been and mowed 8 acres that is going to be haylage for a chap this evening. It will be at least 10...
