Morning
Presumably most are still planning on planting wheat in the next month or so.
With current prices and profitability what’s everyone’s thoughts on pre em choices and rates ?
cheers

A Group 2 winter wheat has bucked recent trends of low specific weights for milling quality to perform beyond expected for one Northamptonshire grower.

Never grown them before, recovering OSR grower. Which is a good winter variety and what seed rate if ploughing or Claydon drilled please? Any other advice welcome.
Any advice would be welcome on this. I have 80ha of heavy, flinty, hilly land going into winter wheat that currently looks like this:
It's chest/ head high, completely alive with insects, and is mainly spring linseed, buckwheat, sunflowers, phacelia, and a bit of clover and vetch.
I don't...

Intercropping, bi-cropping, companion cropping – call it what you like, but interest is increasing. An EU project aims to transform this from a niche to mainstream. CPM reports.

We are having issues with our T7.315. New last year and FMX installed by dealer and GPS supplier (well known national firm) at local tractor dealership. It is on RTK with a local Trimble base station. We run three FMX units in CNH tractors and the other two are working fine. Last autumn and...
Hi just wondering what is the minimum power requirement for a 4m stubble cultivator at 7 to 8 inches deep, the likes of a vaderstad cultus or kuhn cultimer or horsch terrano please.
We’re on soils that go hard and struggling to find a machine to chit them unless they are wet. We persevered with a vaderstad carrier for a few years but got rid of it in the end as it just wouldn’t penetrate hard soils. We then used a mounted disc/press machine with the idea the tractor linkage...
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
Taking out 50ac of grass for wheat but don't really want to plough. Grass has been down 6 years, heavy ground, realistically do i have any other options? All cultivation work normally done by contractor but looking for independent advice and take work back in-house.
I didn't plant any linseed this yr, instead opting for a summer cover crop. Painful decision, but first loss and all that.
Anyway, just been to check on progress, and saw this:
This is a 4m strip across the angle of the drilling where I had been messing around with a home made cultivator...

Any suggestions,
only soil stirring kit available is a plough a weaving subdisc and the combi drill.
we have power harrowed stubbles in the past but last time I set the gearbox on fire and ended up scraping the machine, so not keen on using the power Harrow off the combi and killing that as...
We normally bale our winter barley straw and put it away undercover and sell through the winter, but this time we are short of harvest staff. So my question is how do people get on Drilling OSR into chopped straw, We max till with Horsch MT and Vaderstad drill which is very successful over cira...
