Got some charlock in organic winter wheat. Does anyone know what happens if you top it off? Does it put on more branches lower, and actually make the problem worse? Or does it kill it? It's in flower, and about a foot above the crop. Many thanks

About to give up on barley with another 25mm at the weekend, small field with bad Charlock in it. What could I sow for going into grass next year. Was in spuds so don’t fancy straight into grass as it’s staying in it for a long time. Cheers

Hi - looking at options for wintering sheep next year...managed all grass wintering this year....which was great! However....like all, i'm cursed to want more sheep 😅 and we really couldn't have run many more that we did this winter on grass alone imo. Keen to grow some turnips for the last...

Anyone else seeing a big grass weed explosion with this wet weather? So depressing rampant ryegrass and blackgrass in fields that looked clean post Christmas.

Im sure alot of people have seen the phenomenon when spraying, you kill weeds them more grow next year etc, ive seen it a bunch but never understood why, im guessing now its becuase them chemical kills the microbes and the only thing that will grow is weeds? Ive sprayed gras out on drains with...

so im planning on laying down 10ha to swedes but i dont know what is the most cost effective way of doing it, ive heard that all you need to do is kill off the lay 2 weeks before seeding, lay fert down at 200 weigh an acre then drill the seeds in with slug pellets. ive heard you need to put...

We’ve never really seen it before but what started as a small patch on an environmental strip has now swamped 4 acres of crap OSR. It’s a carpet of small yellow flowers atop a small dark green plant that looks like a tomato plant type leaf. I think I will glypho the 4 acres soon as the OSR isn’t...

Question For @Nielo I expect but anyone who knows Undersown Cereals with Legume Herb grass mix ,do you know how much Barley and Peas per acre , Sorry I know I'm being lazy I should look myself Thanks And Happy Easter

Got the above to put in.ab8 for 6 metre margins and ab15 legume mixes in fields.when is best time to drill.paper work says early summer but I’m thinking April for the margins and late April or May for the legume mixes.would like to get it in in reasonable time in case we get a drought...

Green Globe or Massif ?? Straight easy question Thanks for any feedback 😀

Well I guess it’s time to start another annual thread about how peoples crops are looking at the start of the year. All pics taken today. Generally I’m pretty happy at present other than one but of rape that looks a bit thin in places thanks mainly to pheasants🙄 Wheats Skyfall Two year...

Hi all, is there a general shortage of Fox? Have had some on order for a while... Walking OSR this morning and the frosts haven’t keeled the charlock. Any other alternatives? Cheers

OSR with lots of flea beetle larvae seems Better around the headlands but lots of larvae damage per plant.

Just wondered if any of you top your forward W.OSR as alternative to grazing it, if don’t have your own sheep.

Just back from 44 mile round trip to drop some cattle at mart theres been some water come down last night big puddles all over on the roads
