    Wild oats foxtrot/oskar

    What have I done wrong? Sprayed 1l/ha of oskar/foxtrot at 200l/ha volume in winter wheat at gs 37 on Monday 8th of May.The wild oats have shrugged it off since and growing away. I can only assume I should have sprayed at 1.2l/ha. Didn't want to go earlier as I wanted to get any spring wild oats...

    Rishi economics!!!

    Let's think about eggs and tomatoes for a minute. Supermarkets wouldn't pay the required price necessary to cover grower input inflation, growers stopped producing, no eggs/toms on the shelves, prices rocketed. Now Rishi wants to cap the price of staple foods. If this creates lower ex-farm...

    Crop assurance scraping for failures

    Working all your life at home on the farm with that old "It will be yours one day"

    I wonder just how many of you are out there with that promise made to you, and when the time comes that you think after working at home for no more than a roof over your head and very often any money you have made you have invested into the farming business that had been promised to you from a...

    I’ve made a huge mistake… (new sprayer)

    A word of caution…. I sold my 2015 Amazone UX3200 sprayer a few weeks ago because it had done 70,000 acres and it was also tactically the right thing to do from a deprecation/tax point of view. i bought it new, and I can honestly say it never once let me down. Ever. I wanted a new Amazone...

    Second Wheat Herbicide

    I am wondering aloud. In order to protect the efficacy of Broadway Star and use it less often than twice in three years or every other year what would be the next best spring herbicide to use? There will be wild oats and brome mainly as well as broadleaves. Would you use Broadway Star again...

    Leaf is it worth it?

    Foot rot - footvax

    We're getting more and more foot rot here. Pretty strict at culling any bad feet before tupping but it just keeps on appearing in others. Tups are the worst. I buy hill Cheviots at Dingwall and try to stay clear of anything that looks like it has feet problems but a year later and their feet...
