grass weed

  1. Grassman

    Ground slightly damp😃

    I am struggling to remember our land being this wet at this time of year. January to March perhaps but never the beginning of November. Seems all we get is extreme weather nowadays.

    Claydon drill

    Currently a traditional set up; plough/ heavy cultivations then drill but looking at going straight in to stubble or minimum amount of tillage. Looking at a Claydon, are they any good…? Cropping consists of wheat, barley, oats, maize & grass but obviously would only be for cereal crops.

    Crop Rotation Mistake?

    Hi folks, looking for some advice. Due to a mix up in the co-op the wrong seed ended up being put into the contractors seed drill. We were meant to be putting in Winter Wheat after Winter Oilseed Rape, instead we got some Winter Barley seed. Obviously this makes a total mess of our rotation...

    Has anyone ever autumn established SFI AHL2 after a crop off winter wheat, grown fast seeding crops such as mustard and then gone into a spring barley late March early April? Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!
