UK farmers embark on a crucial agricultural practice that is pivotal to the success of their livestock management and forage production: autumn reseeding. This is one of the most cost-effective on-farm investments. It involves establishing new pasture or fodder crops during autumn to ensure a...

There is a discussion on the livestock forum about the loss of BPS and rents which in theory should fall after BPS disappears and the small offering of SFI by my calculation in no way will compensate. I have a block of 23 ha of Downland that I rent, it is very steep in places and not possible...

As far as I understand the rules for the above. I am entitled to spin some beans into my winter barley at drilling, leave them in until the spring, and claim for the £129/hectare. Has anyone clarified this with the higher powers by any chance? It seems like a no brainer

Pretty much as the title says , most of our acerage is steep ( Class Montanna is past its limits on 50% of the acerage!) what I'm seeing this year is that when the Claydon is crabbing the row widths open up and let in way too much light and hence the invasion of meadow grass. Any ideas from...

Did luximo work for you? If so when did you drill?

Great clips of 1950's farming. Parents talked about similar but I thought it was just them who were behind. Amusing shots of the spraying, no gloves, no mask, no cab, spraying herbicide with the stock in the field & the very optimistic narrator. In that period machines must have been obsolite...

Morning everyone. Could I have some suggestions for establishing clover (white and or red) in mature grassland. I'm looking for alternative methods what don't cost much. I could graze it tight and drill it but timing, cost and weather really are big factors as I wouldn't have more than one...

I've been meaning to do this for ages, sorry if it's been done before and would be interested in others doing it for other drills, also interested in hearing from other tined DD users. Just going into our second season with ours. A bog standard 3m box drill. First impressions are. Really happy...
