The event will take place at Henton Farms, Atherfield Farm, Atherfield Road, Ventor on the Isle...
Just had a look at this, it’s seems a lot more open to interpretation than GS4
am I right in saying I could put a herbal ley in that is 70% rye grass with the other grasses / herbs etc making up the other 30% , leave it between start may and end july for 5 weeks , ie take a 1st cut late May/...
Honestly what is so wrong with just farming nowadays??
All you hear is we have to diversify, we need to be shopkeepers, or sell ice cream, or have tourists on site, or go into rewildling etc etc etc......
You dont see any other industry getting pummeled so much that they have to basically go...
I gave up second wheats a good few years ago due to grassweed control, lack of!, thought I'd give it another go as the farm is cleaner and now running a disc direct drill, flooding aside, it looks terrible, what have people learnt with DD second wheat, as I'm now hearing advice along the lines...
Afternoon all
We have a fair lump not sown at the minute, some of it quite heavy and still stubble, some of it worked and half sown.
Tine drills seem to be top choice for some people in wet conditions, so I'm after experiences really. I know of a tine drill at sensible money, and we have a 6m...
To kick off,
would be interested in trialling deep drilled wheat 70mm+, then glyphosate just before wheat emergence. Seed size and vigour to germinate from depth is a differentiator between wheat and blackgrass.
Obviously different drilling dates and timing of glyphosate applications and...

With this extreme weather bursts we get now, its got me thinking what is the right drill for all weather conditions? We have all been led to believe direct drilling or min till is the best for your ground? but what is best for your income? After all this wet all us direct drill boys are now...
Would older and retired farmers care to give their opinion s on slugs causing so much damage to autumn cereals and flea beetles causing so much damage on OSR, as well as slugs.
Just wondering how long ago it was that you started growing Winter Oilseed Rape, did you have much trouble with Flea...
Realisation that ploughing destroys the natural seed bed pushes Fraser Bush to min-till, carbon farming, a new revenue stream and less time on the tractor
A lightbulb moment in 2019 for Wiltshire-based tenant farmer Fraser Bush whilst ploughing, changed the way he farmed as he realised that...
Seriously considering the Mzuri route. Our soils are high clay content so generally quite heavy.
And I want to use it for the whole rotation and stick to the system, which entails growing maize as well as wheat/OSR/beans.
What are peoples thoughts on the system now they’ve been about for roughly...

I'm not into contracting, I just like to help others out when I can and don't usually charge if its not a huge job , but I'm doing about 120 acrs of ploughing for someone quite close to me (geographically and I will need to put a bill in . What's a decent 'for both sides' rate ? I'm not...
