Hope it's ok to post. For the Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) this year, we have several sponsors interested in covering the cost of entry for oilseed, combinable pea, and bean growers. This means you may be able to become a YEN member for free this year. There are multiple benefits to being a...

We have dabbled with cover crops previously, albeit on a limited basis and with no fixed conclusions. As part of our SFI scheme we are looking to put cover crops in ahead of spring beans. We are on heavy soils but they are regularly (annually) mucked and so the two main aims are to keep hold of...

ADAS is conducting a short survey to understand the benefits that OSR brings to a rotation and how factors, such as the loss of the basic farm payment, ELMs, loss of active ingredients and climate change, are likely to affect the most profitable sequence of crops in future rotations. We would be...

Just been sent this. I didn't realise running a combine was so cheap 🙄or maybe the straw is going to be dear. 🤔 I would like to see how the business model stacks up🤣

Is there a market to sell non assured grain/rape and the like ? TIA.

As per title I have a flush of poppies appearing in my spring linseed. Not yet in bud. The question is what is likely to be the most detrimental to crop yield, leaving it as it is or spraying with something like Metsulfron-methyl?

Having researched as much information about the flea beetle as possible and been interested in the current crops in the ground, which generally look good. Do you think we’re starting to see more natural predators? I’ve recently read a paper from an Entomologist who suggested it would take 10...

Anyone warrant doing a T3 this year? Growing skyfall and is a bit of yellow rust around so may do a cheapo one involving Tebuconazole

Does anyone know the ex farm price for linseed at the moment please?

Written by William Kellett Most farmers will dig a hole to assess their soil health, but it’s not often they get the chance to literally get below ground to assess the impact of different crops on soil structure. However, at this year’s Cereals Event (June 30 – July 1) in Lincolnshire, farmers...

I know there’s another general BG thread but this is just a particular question about chemicals. Basically what are your ‘chemical’ approaches to BG. We aren’t doing a proper job so looking for ideas please.

Hi all, I am a student at Imperial University London trying to understand how the banning of bee-harming pesticide has affected your farm and trying to come up with the next generation of the drone-based precision pest control system. It would be amazing if I could have a chat with you about...

Up until now we have not had a problem with black grass. But one field seems to have got away on us. It’s first wheat after osr and would expect it yield about 10t/ha. There is not enough grass to effect the yield but too much to pull by hand. The area is about 12ac which would be about 4% of...
