Putting malting barley to the test It can be frustrating for growers to see a spring barley like LG Diablo sat at the top of the Recommended List with provisional approvals for malting use, but to then find that their grain merchant isnt too keen to offer a contract to grow it. Why would that...

Berwickshire farmer Neil White calls for clarity and equity in their baseline carbon audit on his farm after six years of No-till Harvest 2021 was, in the end, better than expected. The crops came out of the wet cold spring looking respectable, but then continually improved to culminate in...

Farmer Focus – Neil White 2021 has seen me, after 5 years, drill into cover crops for the first time. I had a big volunteer oat crop due to cutting wet oats at harvest, which I left into winter. Every cloud has a silver lining though as this then provided some winter grazing for a neighbour’s...

Having a nightmare with Spring barley this year with getting our 106 to give a clean sample and don't let any barley go over the tail,we have had all the sieves in every position and wasting a lot of time so thought I'd ask on here for some advice,thanks in advance as always.

We have used Revystar on Spring Barley at "paint brush" for ramularia and it is disappointing. We used Adexar type (old stock) as a T2 on wheat and I thought we had too much septoria. My independent agronomist brought some plants from a neighbour who had used Revystar (same variety) and it was...

Does anyone know what is causing this? We’ve seen bits before and it’s very annoying.

I spot sprayed a few Docks three weeks ago, the majority looked absolutely cooked, wilting, yellow leaves, a bit of warmth and they are gradually coming alive!!

For the first time in 50 years nearly, I've purchased an air rifle. Surprised at how much the technology has moved on. This is a compressed air charged weapon with a couple of 10 pellet magazines, sub 12lbs, so not needing a firearms license. Decided, after watching many reviews on YouTube to...

Have I missed this thread or has no one started? Mucked 2 weeks ago. Soil loosening with topsoiler yesterday and today. Work with the carrier tomorrow and then wednesday.................. rain!!!? :rolleyes: This is for spring barley. How is everyone getting on, still to wet?

Planet £430. Is that about what it is?

Seed Rates A key consideration to increase spring cereal yields is choosing varieties with a greater tillering ability that can help improve final headcounts. Modern varieties such as RGT Planet, LG Diablo and Laureate on spring barley and the new spring wheat variety KWS Cochise are shown to do...

What can we expect in 2021? After the challenge of harvest 2020, we go into 2021 hoping for an improved year not only in agriculture but that Covid-19 will slowly dissipate with the distribution of a vaccine. From a purely agricultural point of view, there is already more optimism that the...

I’ve got a drill which will drill seed & fert. Should I drill all the fert In one go it’s what I want to do. They are metered separately but do go in the same place slot. Disc drill any thoughts. Probably going 120kg/n/ha solid fert either 34.5 or 24/8/8/8

Just heard WN Lindsay have been sold to Simpsons Malt. Will be interesting to see how this develops...

I get the feeling this is going to be a more and more likely scenario...... So what to do with cash? Various pots to think about! 1: Cash in the business 2: Cash in personal accounts 3: Cash in pension pots nearing maturity (ie in the next 2 or 3 years) Borrowings are minimal in business and...
