    Haymaking 2023

    I know it's very early still, but looks like my neighbour is making a bit of hay on a small field that he lets people camp on. Couple of others seem to be underway with haylage. I've just been and mowed 8 acres that is going to be haylage for a chap this evening. It will be at least 10...

    Is there any way we can farm in the UK without subsidies?

    How does government ELMS/SFI policy fit in with the food price crisis talks?

    Bracken again,

    Have sprayed it last year with roundup, really sorted it out, but now got few sporadic bits about, just not opened up but grown 9” inch this week, tried roundup at the early stage last year and don’t think it really worked, what’s best way as don’t really want to wait till August to do it!

This for example is a section of an organic field that I have that appears to be rich in clover, picture taken 2 days...

    Fertiliser on land with a lot of clover

    Our ground has a high clover content, but think it could do with an extra boost about now. What fertiliser should I be putting on to avoid doing too much harm to the clover but still getting a boost of grass growth. It’s only for sheep grazing. Upland/ hill farm

    Rotovate pre-ploughing, any benefit?

    I’ve got some ancient PP with a good thatch that I’m hoping to reseed this year, would it be worthwhile after spraying off, to apply lime and rotovate first to chop up the old sward, help it break down, easier ploughed?
