Had 110ha destined for winter beans but seed delivery way behind when we think it’s optimal for decent zero till winter beans to be drilled.
Shall I order some spring bean seed or shall I plant spring oats, I’ve got the nitrogen in the shed and farm saved seed. I am erring towards the oats...
Basically I want people to do brix before and post application of fungicides, taken at the same time of day preferably between 2-4pm.
I saw some very interesting observations last year and I want to see which fungicides have the least damaging impact on microbiology in the symbiotic sense. Have...
Been offer some feilds of rape that a chap drill and has failed only about half to a 3rd has grown. He wants what's left grazed off before he drills wheat in the feild would it be safe to graze inlamb ewes on this. There is also volunteer barley which had been sprayed off and gone yellow? Thanks

Very hard to find any phoma in varieties Aspire and Annika yet. Usually quite a bit of phoma showing in previous varieties by Guy Fawkes. What about light leaf spot or is it too early?
Are people buying chemicals now for next year? We know certain products that we will definitely use year on year, prices look like rising and we have already had problems getting some herbicides this autumn, just pondering what products could be best bought now
Red Tractor board member no longer. Resigned? Not stood again? Don't know. But not great calling your farmer members "backstabbers" because they have a different opinion and suggest some reform and improvements.
