Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...

Heavy rain again last night.

Supposedly a claydon grain and fert meets the grant spec with the leading tine applying...

Want to graze from first few weeks of July so was thinking to put in late April/early May. Thinking full cultivation to put in as I...
Just thinking aloud here..
Getting on for spring barley,maybe better off with something else.
Thinking a couple of ton of grain maize off the 10a might be better.
Would be all fed in house to beef.
Can sow it with the combi,
Have small conventional combine header to cut it(if it will do it)...
