    A strange Spring?

    Ok, putting the Winter/Spring rainfall aside for a minute, is anyone else finding this a strange Spring? The local Reading University soil and air temperatures (link below) have been well above seasonal average, but I’m finding everything to be so slow to get away this year. We are now into the...

    Urea rules

    Read a snippet in the Farmers Weekly this week that seemed to imply that the new rules regarding urea and the 1st of April were a Red Tractor thing. Is it just for farm assurance or is it a defra thing, and if it`s a defra thing then what can they do if you do spread after the cut off date??

    Will the rain ever stop

    Sorry for moaning but I'm fed up of the rain.. We have had one or two days where it's been nice. Land dries up then rain again and it's saturated.

    Lambing losses.

    Even after 7 or 8yrs, I still consider myself as a newcomer to sheep rearing. As my own lambing comes near an end and my mind starts to function somewhat nearer to usual, I'm wondering what others consider an acceptable or even inevitable level of lamb mortality at time of lambing itself and...

    It looks like it could be a dry time

    With high pressure to the North and Easterly winds setting in, are we in for a dry spring. It might last to early summer or even St Swithens.

    Glyphosate ban on European milling oats

    Something to watch! Looks like glyphosate is being banned as a desiccant for milling oats in Europe, not here at the moment but I suspect it might happen. Is there anything left in the arsenal to desiccate uneven crops? C B
