ADM, global leader in nutrition, and the leading flour miller in the UK, has for the first time calculated the emissions from the production of wheat in its UK supply chain.

As far as I understand the rules for the above. I am entitled to spin some beans into my winter barley at drilling, leave them in until the spring, and claim for the £129/hectare.

It's incredibly consistent , not record breaking but very reliable
May start chopping more often ,
I’ve bought a s/h set of 12m rolls that have a stocks fanjet mounted on them. Will I actually be able to get the feed slow and consistent enough to work at 8-10kph 12m wide rather than 25/30kph at 18/24m on a quad bike. The rolls were the right money regardless of the slug pelleter but would be...

I've recently started leasing some land that was in continuous grass for years. I've noticed a good bit of wireworm damage on tubers. A neighbour recommended mustard as a biofumigant but advisor said I'd be wasting my time. Question is, what biocontrol are you guys using?
Any ideas what might survive a pre em on wheat?
OSR volunteers may suffice on some but what else?
Is there anything or do we have to risk missing the pre em?
Grazing removes the nutrients that have ro be replaced for the next crop to thrive, does mindset need to change where a residual crop should be incorporated to feed the livestock in the field not just on it?
