    Anyone else been asked to provide a mugshot because you have bought fertiliser?

    As above really, text came through this afternoon asking for a 'farmers photo' I rang my dealer (a lady) immediately and without preamble she said "No, I don't want an unclothed picture" I am tempted to use one of a celebrity as we have never met and I don't want to shatter her delusions.

    Direct Drilling

    Is there an industry standard for the above term? Nowadays it seems to encompass a wide range of drilling techniques/ systems but other than being called a one pass system cannot see the difference between doing some elements separately. Is hooking up a subsoiler in front of power harrow combi...

    Winter Beans no pods!

    Our winter beans look really good at a distance but when you look closely there’s loads of flowers just finishing but very few pods in fact I’ve never seen so few pods! Could it be the cold or lack of sun and bees or a bit of everything?
