    Direct/zero tilling without glyphosate, is it possible?

    As above. I mention glyphosate but surely their must be a comparable, chemical, under development to succeed it ,as should it ever get banned worldwide,the market for a comparable is huge.

    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...

    Grazing Winter barley

    Ive grazed wheats now for a couple years with positive effects and no yield penalty. But never grazed winter barley. Anything I should think about before a chuck a few hundred in lamb ewes out on barley? Worried about the growth profile differences between wheat and barley.

    Ergot

    Ergot seems to be a problem again this year. I've seen it mentioned that Boron deficiency can cause this and increased SDHI use (with the loss of CTL?) can contribute to Boron deficiency. Can anyone add to this? Doesn't seem a correlation between other factors like variety or cultivations?

    Sprinter vs Sabre Tine

    Currently considering a 6m sprinter on dutch/metcalf etc, but also giving consideration to Sabre tine (new type 4 row prob front tank). Anybody run both? Would be used either as direct drill or on very lightly cultivated ground? Sprinter would need full width packer for depth.

    Firming behind TS drill.

    It's all very well waiting until now to drill, to try and beat the black grass, but of course it is always too wet to roll in November. Has anyone configured a lightweight packer arrangement on the back of one of these drills to leave a halfway firm and level finish? The L shaped covering Harrow...

    Avoid These Five Pitfalls When Drilling Later, Wheat Growers Urged

    1. Don’t drill based on seed weight – use seed numbers Seed rates need increasing to offset the shorter tillering period when drilling later, says Mr Scott, and to offset other risks such as slugs. But big variations in seed thousand grain weight this season make it particularly important to...
