With the launch of another alternative from Rotam, with Golding on the 1st September - here is a list of all the products that are the "same" in terms of actives as Liberator. Pincer has been re-formulated this year to be the same as last years Ascent - expect a premium over last years stock...

I have old sheep/pig scales bought through e-bay. They weigh a sack of feed accurately but vary with pogo lambs between 0 and 100kg and back. Discovered no shock absorbers. It looks like there is a place to put something but there's nothing there. Need something not too big just to moderate...

What should I be charging per hour for a 234 valtra and man (230 horsepower) with my own fuel, to pull someone's 18 ton silage trailer on grass.

Struggling with Sterile brome here. I'm sure we could cope with a better rotation, but a good contractor alternate years would be another way, maybe.

I am by nature a thinker and by extension a worrier. The above is my current subject not of choice but repetition. Currently in first world economies and I am including China in this more and more assets are controlled by fewer and fewer people.more and more political power is controlled by...

Spraying T1 over the last few days and its obvious the blackgrass control isn't as good as I first thought. Last year seemed an easy year here, felt like I was in control, this year looks like normal service is resumed. This weed really is driving every decision on the farm now.

Morning everyone. I was wondering if any kind carrot grower would be willing to share their herbicide schedule with me? I only grow a few beds but weeds are persistently a problem! Always wondered how pro growers keep them so clean! Will you be using Emerger this year? (Aclinofen)

thoughts? In Suffolk we have only had a couple mm rain in the last month. Personally we have good disease resistance varieties. Can’t find any disease present. Didn’t get a T0 either. If it doesn’t rain do we need to put fungicides on?

So I am a born and bred in the land of Essex and of Indian ethnicity. My grandad left me and my dad a farm back on "the mothership" :D I'm thinking of going to India to see what opportunities there are with farming there and automation. We mainly farm root veg, wheat, peanuts, millet, veg...
