    AHL2 - Winter Bird Food

    Has anyone ever autumn established SFI AHL2 after a crop off winter wheat, grown fast seeding crops such as mustard and then gone into a spring barley late March early April? Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!

    Ultimate Direct Drill still not built?

    I get the impression from the article in this weeks Farmers Weekly about farmers views on their Direct Drills, that the ultimate Direct Drill has not been built. Is that a fair judgment or not? Perhaps some of the farmers featured are TFF members, so would be interesting to hear what they say.
