Over the past few weeks, the Cereals Team, as well as Comexposium's corporate offices, have been monitoring the growing health concern around the Coronavirus (COVID-2019).
As it stands, we plan to go ahead with Cereals on Wednesday 10th & Thursday 11th June 2020 until further notice. We will be...
Airedale in first cut ....
100kgN/ha plus 140kg/ha sulphur on yesterday with a bosh of slurry on Monday should see us reet for cutting in 5 weeks Gods willing
Not aware of any threads on here where grass nerds are talking about grass in kg/DM/ha and rotational grazing so thought I'd start one seeing as I'm having a proper go at it this year. Twin ewes go out to grass today off the forage crops ready for lambing at the end of the month. AFC (average...
Now I wouldn't know anything about growing OSR in the 1980's but the impression I get is plough and drill 1st week sep. 30 units N and then, jollop of N in the spring, swath it and bob's your uncle 30cwt an acre. I have several questions; was it really like this? No S due to Acid Rain? Were...

Our farm drive frontage is quite wide, but the council road is quite narrow. From one direction in a HGV you need the full width of the drive to swing into the yard. Problem is, people (visitors, reps, Dad) like to park just where the unit needs to go when turning in.
Has anyone any experience...
So this forum is full of international members poking our noses out here and there. Sometimes there's even questions from the UK about Canada which people are generally kind enough to tag me in because I'm worse than awful for seeing them myself :LOL:
The last couple of years I've done a Day a...
Some unsprayed wheat would travel today. In the row from circa nov 20th drilling date.
Not much BG but what there is is 30mm 1 leaf.
Rough seedbed.
Bit of brome will appear any minute.
Weed control is based on autumn FFT + cheap partners and some spring applied SU against brome (supressing BG)...
In my opinion sowing now is high risk with uncertain weather and undoubtably going colder , so , I'm thinking how's about mid - end of feb , moves some seed and the only risk is vernalisation , could be a better gamble ,
Decisions , decisions .
This autumn has highlighted a major weakness in the way the majority of arable crops are established in the uk, min-till particularly on heavy soils. The need to create a chit of the major grass weeds by a light cultivation and leaving for 4-6 weeks has left us exposed if the weather changes as...
With moving to more direct drilling with a disc drill do people still use kerb in osr? We cultivated with the carrier before drilling this year after astrokerb. The label says ploughing after kerb.
