We have a big issue with grass weeds and it’s getting worse. We are ok if we have a big spread of crops but it simply just doesn’t pay due to poor yields of spring crops such as spring linseed, spring barley, spring beans spring wheat. We’ve also tried grass but without our own livestock we get...

We are fast approaching harvest 22 and looking now to harvest 23 for cropping decisions, but the cost and margin picture looks very different to this time last year. UK feed wheat new crop futures (Nov-22) closed yesterday at £340.10/t. This is almost double the price from this time last year...

With the massive issue of cooking oil supply world wide would it be prudent for the government to at least scrutinise any data since the ban to see if there is a genuine argument for the reintroduction of this seed dressing. Surely this is an emergency measure which could be introduced which...

Written by cpm from CPM Magazine Download PDF At the end of the rainbow lies a crock of gold, black gold. The trouble is chasing rainbows is a notoriously risky business. CPM investigates how to achieve something that in recent years has seemed increasingly impossible for many growers. Although...

For those who have experience of the crop, call it quits and replace, or keep it ? Looking like pigeons have hammered it, a small area in the corner is a lot taller 😢 ,

As above. I would have thought that the traditional mixed farming system ,utilising Grass leys for livestock, and then planting cereals into those leys is the same as regenerative farming :scratchhead: I am obviously missing something?? Is it the economics of the system , especially if one is...

Has anyone used the metcalfe freeflow point for drilling OSR? Thinking of growing a bit this year and wondering what the best way to plant it might be . Want it to be a one pass operation + rolling if possible. Other options would be seeder of the back of the top down or buy something.

I drilled some spring barley into half a field where the reseed failed last year at the weekend. Now digging around it’s obvious the reseed failed due to wireworm as they are present in every hole I’ve dug. With a decent seed bed and decent soil temperature will it grow away from the little...

Just interested to hear how people have got on drilling OSR with Low Disturbance subsoiler and disc coulters on the back. Preferences of Seeder units and disc coulters plus disc running straight behind leg or slightly offset? Our subsoiler leaves gap behind leg on heavier land so was thinking...

With glyphosate prices so high shall i just let the rape ripen naturally? I have the combine capacity to do it which i haven't in the past. its conventional so more at risk from rain and wind. crops looks good and even at the moment, are growing quick. Would probably still roundup any pigeoned...

Practical steps towards better OSR results this autumn With oilseed rape prices significantly higher than this time last year, there could be more of the crop going into the ground this autumn. But before making a final decision, leading agronomy firm Hutchinsons urges growers to think...

Starter fertiliser could give OSR a reprieve Cabbage stem flea beetle pressure has been the final straw that has forced many growers to drop oilseed rape from their rotation, but the crop could get a reprieve on one Lincolnshire farm thanks to the use of starter fertiliser this autumn...
