The land has been sprayed with Tower herbicide (Chlorotoluron, Pendimethalin & DFF)
I would like to put a cover crop (preferably Phacelia) in the bare areas to keep the soil in good nick until next autumn.
I would plan to...

Hi all got 250 acre mixed farm with plenty of cattle which in turn means loads of fym currently growing grass for the horse market wheat , spring barley and maize ( may drop maize yet ) , thinking ahead the grass will help the soil structure and seems a shame to plough it up and it’s heavy clay...

Given the late drilling date and the amount of rain that’s gone on them I’m pleasantly pleased with the state of my crops.
I do have two small fields that are below par but most are looking well.
How are others looking?
Wheat and barley below, no rape this year but locally it looks well.
Good morning everybody,

We have a product here (one called Vario) that has the same make up as dicurane used to have.

When I used to use it in the uk, it was always in November (usually seemed to be during children in need week) and actually I can’t remember how...

Belt and braces,
1250g/ha Pendimethalin, 120g/ha Flufenacet and 30g/ha Diflufenican = £35/ha
Avadex granules = £40/ha
TOTAL £75/ha
Not applying the Avadex is a big saving, what do others do in blackgrass fields?
I'm an arable farmer but have access to pig slurry from next door farm over the hedge.
We are moving into a regenerative farming system and I was hoping to compost a proportion of this pig slurry.
Anyone have any experience of this?
Thanks
Direct drilling on heavy clay soils is tricky. There is a lot of great advice out there, but from those on many different soil types. As direct drilling hinges on soil I thought it would be useful to have a thread based on heavy-ish clay soils alone.
just to kick it of; we have a Weaving GD...
