    Tupping ewes on white clover

    Is tupping ewes on 80% white clover going to make them infertile or bloat? Took ewes on tack yesterday and one of the fields white clover seems to have taken over, please advise.

    Winter barley in January?

    It’s now very wet here and another 8 days at least of rain forecast, barely is not drilled and no hope before bonfire night. I have dressed seed… so, if (I know unlikely) we had a beautiful January is there any reason why drilling winter barley then would fail/make an unviable crop?
