In wheat , been using 2 ltr/ha of Picomax which does a fair job for the money , looking for summat better , expecting to do them again in the spring with topic.

Don't compromise this spring says Mzuri January 2020 Headed by farmer and engineer Martin Lole, Mzuri is a leading manufacturer of strip tillage seed drills that have been tried and tested on the company’s trial farm since its inception. Formally a conventionally managed farm heavily infested...

Ideally we are looking at reseeding some of our silage block after this next cut, Had a quick look at some grass seed suppliers online, preferably looking at Aber varieties, long term, late heading perennials.. We like to take 3 cuts and 1 or 2 grazings (dairy cows)... Any suggestions on...

Am I right in thinking that this is fat hen? If so can I graze it off with dry cows? in a spring reseeded that looks like there is very little grass. Had a barely cover crop of that changes anything?

As above really, I know there are various people who post in the direct drilling photo gallery thread but I was hoping some could share pictures throughout the growing season, this 1 especially, of crops grown at 250mm spacing (or there abouts) It isn't really the year to be able to go cruising...

Osr is getting harder to grow obviously and control black grass, infact osr failed on these fields and has been planted with spring barley. What to grow on it next, spring beans maybe?(growing some this year after a few years of not) Grass for 2 years to help with blackgrass control?(not ideal...

Popped across here from Livestock, as I had no response, much to my surprise! Looking at a biggish (for me) tranche of herbal ley going in this Autumn under a STW scheme. Not quite sorted out areas as yet, as I am unsure if it will fit in a couple of locations... The aim is to rotationally...

Looking at a biggish (for me) tranche of herbal ley going in this Autumn under a STW scheme. The aim is to rotationally graze some of the crop and also conserve some (post clover flowering) for livestock fodder. Cotswold chaps say it is feasibly to cut in late June with good management... So...

Back in the day when you could get Avadex BW it worked an absolute dream on big fat hen in beet that got away from the normal Gotix/ Venzar / Betenal mix that we normally used. Fast forward to this year. - poor weed control as no moisture for residuals to work. Now would anyone know if Avadex...

German style cultivations Just wondering why a 2 pass system of cultivations ( disc, green up, spray off, grub up ground) before drilling seems to be favoured in Northern Europe rather than a single pass with the likes of a topdown, sumo trio etc. Amazone where doing trials that seemed to show...

Winter Linseed is coming towards end of flowering and I now have a pretty blanket of pink fumitory flowers starting to appear above the crop. Just wondering if anybody has had any success spraying it out at this late stage? If so, what product and is it cost effective?

I sometimes wonder if I’m doing it all wrong. Why not cultivate the stuff that grows like crazy and forget cereals and conventional crops. I was thinking in particular of “Fat Hen” It grows given half a chance and combines very well. Does anybody know if the seed is a useful feed. Did they...

Do forage brassicas suffer from csfb in the same way as osr? I am in Mid Lincolnshire and have never had any problem getting the crop of osr established, it is in the Spring where the rot (literally) sets in. A forage crop would have been eaten by then. I have no luck planting kale in May, it is...

How strong a mix are people using when spraying off covers after the drill. Always been told 1.5lts when dealing with volunteer cereals, but this is into 2ft high rape and charlock. I don't want to kill the summer cover before the aminopyralid residues have the chance to do it for me... Many...

Is it just mine, or it it earlier this year ?

Whats the opinion on wheat crops? 80% or 60% of normal

What’s everyone’s thoughts on rolling the spring oats post emergence to squash the stones back in. Agronomist not keen thinks we’ll bruise the oats too much????

Has anyone grown this variety? I've been offered a seed growing contract for next year.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on rolling post emergence on spring cereals to encourage rooting and tillering. I’m planning to roll all of ours next week now it’s all got 3 leaves or more and it’s soaking up some fert after the rain.
