Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.

Several fields of hybrid rye where the crop has only really survived on top of drains. Maybe 20% of field areas actually growing, so no point patching. No spring fert or autumn herbicide at all. What to do? Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...

66k members. Safe to assume that many hundreds will be lesbian/gay. We know, for sure, that Muslims are members. Important posts made about keeping abattoirs going. Yet there is a constant dribble of homophobic and racist posts. Often presented as humour, or thinly disguised as political...

Evening all, at work, we are looking for an accurate guidance, rtk or close, as we are drilling our own maize with a 3m powerharrow with a mounted maize drill. The tractors aren't guidance ready but a new one in the future will be so will be following a lightbar for now. We already have a...

Sprog One has bought and incubated a small batch of Quail that have been parked with us... :rolleyes: These are (apparently) larger birds than some strains and are kept for egg laying. About 4 weeks old now and growing like weeds. At the moment, they are still on chick crumbs, but there is now...

And it's nothing to do with deer. Started the 2nd N application on Wheat yesterday and I had to drive a quarter of the wheel over on the headland tramlines to prevent puddles created from previous passes spraying everywhere and to level the soil a little.It wasn't too bad, I thought,as I drove...

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland The College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (CAFRE) has just published a crops update for Northern Ireland. It relates the continuing impact of the poor weather on winter cereals, while also reflecting on the 2024 spring planting opportunities...

It’s been very noticeable this year that later drilled wheat is much better than earlier drilled wheat for spring die off even though conditions were appalling all round. We always thought it was manganese deficiency that caused the problems but I think that’s secondary. Two identical very light...

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...

I thought I did on the Sainted Isle but that seems to no longer be the case … Recently, we tendered and won a block of 70ac on the outskirts of a village and accessed by a lane with houses off. I said to son after we’d walked the land that if we won, there would be trouble…… and yesterday we...

Open reach guy turned up today came 30 plus miles ,he was involved in "plant protection "" or otherwords checking telegraph poles are not rotting, took hour per pole.. Another guy who lives down road is travelling To Birmingham every day 100miles each way, works for open reach. Inefficient...

Production of some crops has been decimated due to the loss of insecticides over the last 20 years, sorry 45 years. Has the bee population increased, if not why not?

Happy Easter all you active posters Hope you find a little bit of free time to enjoy Take care D

As per title is there any way to do this easily and without making a mess. Will be spreading a good bit of urea this year as opposed to blends, urea has more nitrogen in it so I think this situation will arise. Would like to be prepared

What are people's thoughts on them, especially as a vario. They've been about for a few years now, looks like they are a capable machine. Thanks

We are wondering whether to just clean and not dress it just incase we don't use it.I know others do it what are your thoughts?

Going off the back of the recent news from Defra and reading the current thread about it it would be interesting to see exactly how much land people where actually considering taking out of production. Thers a lot complaining about not being able to enter more than 25% into the 6 options that...
