As a distraction to the soggy non existent spring drilling programme, I'm looking ahead to the autumn and want to reduce my spring cropping area, currently about 1/3 of the farm thanks to blackgrass. Winter barley for feed isn't really any good for blackgrass control in terms of herbicide...
Good morning all, sorry if this post is not in the correct forum.
Got a 2008 MT1840 that’s leaking hydraulic fluid internally on the boom seems to be from the most forward section. I’ve done a bit of reading and hear these are a bit of a pain in the arse.

So both AHDB and NFU have promised independent reviews into Red Tractor to dampen the flames caused by the farmer outrage over Greener Farm commitment plans
It's easy to promise such things but HOW do you...

I’ve a bit of stalky rye grass.
Dried off ewes on it which worked well for them and they learnt to eat the seed heads.
We’ve now had 46mm of rain in last 11 days which is a bit of a shock to the system for us in a dry bit of Devon.
It’s flushing up green in the base of the crop now and...
Silage field was sprayed this past with with forefront, been assured it’s safe to cut it won’t forefront as the much from the resulting silage will only ever be used back on grassland. But what I was wondering how long after spraying is it safe to cut it ?
