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...

Writing up my spray records from just applying some pre-ems, I looked back to mid 2000's. The amount of chemicals we use now compared to then and how we got by with simple fungicides makes it look like the industry has gone down the pan. A lot of actives have gone and those left we have been...

Thinking about starting drilling wheat next week. This early drilled stuff is going in mainly after early potatoes and some overwintered stubble that has been ploughed and pressed. We have subsoiled and disc & pressed after the potatoes. All seedbeds are really good and the nice bit of rain has...

Whilst killing as few other species of grasses/ herbal ley as possible please? I'm convinced its come in a seed mix that shouldn't have had any but of course the seed company are swearing no one else has complained and it must've self seeded - not in this volume it hasnt in one year :o Cheers.

Should we worry both as consumers and producers? Glyphosate on oats is the obvious one.Recently highlighted by tim Spector on one of his zoe podcasts. Do we know if glyphosate is toxic in any way. Is it messing with our microbiome? Also as a strawberry grower I am well aware of the very short...

Starting to get a little worried now. Spring seed might be short... Weather doesnt look great on the forcast - given how sh!t harvest was, could we be in for just as bad an autumn?
