    Cutting down trees

    Think it looks bad on farmers when they cut down perfectly healthy trees that have been there for 30 plus years, have a chap near us that bought some land and he cut down some good trees that were not in his way. All the neighbour's are going mad even other farmers .

    Drought.

    I’m well aware that this isn’t affecting everybody. But my question is what can we do on our side of the bargain to ensure the effects of this dry spell don’t last any longer than this. Season?

    Not All Weeds Are Equal

    Wildlife friendly refuges around the edges of farmers’ crops have been credited with slowing biodiversity declines, but new research shows their success ultimately depends on what’s growing next to the field. Recent reported increases in some crop pollinating insects suggested the upturn was...

    Lots of barley and osr cut around us over the last 2 weeks and now some wheat as well. Think I must be missing something though as lots of stubbles have been ripped up or ploughed. Diesel is £1.10/litre and wearing metal prices doubled yet lots of people are out there carrying on as normal...

    Penny for your thoughts?

    Will the lady matelot steer us through stormy seas? Will she make waves in NATO? Will she find some buried treasure for Ukraine? Will she be an ironclad? (Sorry about that one!) I don't really care as long as she makes the Beeb ke ep 'Sailing by' on R4 and even better, brings back the UK Theme Tune.

    Wet May, plenty of hay.

    Only trouble is we are wanting to get a start turning cattle out, if the fields get poached up this time of year they are ruined for summer.

    Fat hen in spring beans

    The pre-em on the spring beans hasn’t worked well in this dry weather - we’ve got a lot of fat hen. Is there anything available other than Basagran? (which says moderately resistant for fat hen on the label) Thanks
