I am growing 25 acres of new crop this year, weed control is challenging so looking for an interview cultivator. As no-one grows veggies this far north on scale I have little knowledge need a 6 row 45 cm spacing. Not sure whether it's rotary or tine front or rear mounted would like to mount on...

AHL2 new rate £853/ha DD option £75/ha Plant a mix of 6 seeds but with spring wheat in it. AHL2 rules state you can use fertiliser to make it grow and herbicides to control weeds. Direct drill in March. Apply 150kg N and a pre-em. Run the combine through it in August just taking the heads...

Hi. Sorry for what is a basic question. I am very new to owning land and learning how to manage it. We recently purchased some land, including a horse paddock. The paddock had about and acre of yellow flowers in one corner when we viewed it. I suspect it's ragwort, but not entirely sure and...

Got a block of OSR that unfortunately has charlock in it which came in the seed:(. I’ve got some Fox to put on to take it out which I was planning on putting on tomorrow as due to be. -4 tonight, then -3 tomorrow night. Just wondering though how cold it needs to get down to for frosts to kill it...

Has anyone ever autumn established SFI AHL2 after a crop off winter wheat, grown fast seeding crops such as mustard and then gone into a spring barley late March early April? Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!

Any ideas what might survive a pre em on wheat? OSR volunteers may suffice on some but what else? Is there anything or do we have to risk missing the pre em?

Normally I nuke it with glypho. But some old neighbours always use to leave it to ripen naturally. This year, as ever, timing of the glypho looks tricky. Some is green, some is dead and will smash out under the sprayer belly. It hadn’t ripened progressively up the plant. Sims have died off...

One of our field has come up with loads of pineapple weed. Someone told me it is a sign of ground compaction, is this true? And what to do to get it back to grass?

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?

Just a quick one for the silage massive please..... I have some first year GS4 ground to mow later this week (after the 5 week period is up) and need to bale it up to remove some blackgrass and brome. It seems a waste to not wrap and feed the silage to cattle - will mayweed make it unpalatable...

Delta airlines being sued for misleading claims about carbon offsets, I wonder who will be paying out, the airline or the people selling the carbon capture to them, how long before BA et Al here get caught up in a law suit and farmers selling carbon capture get dragged in

Is mayweed an issue in wrap bales?

As per title,seems to be alot poking through now.whats best ?

Seem to be more of a problem every year around this time.what are people using to take them out or would a higher rate of stomp/picona in autumn be more effective?

Im sure alot of people have seen the phenomenon when spraying, you kill weeds them more grow next year etc, ive seen it a bunch but never understood why, im guessing now its becuase them chemical kills the microbes and the only thing that will grow is weeds? Ive sprayed gras out on drains with...

We’ve never really seen it before but what started as a small patch on an environmental strip has now swamped 4 acres of crap OSR. It’s a carpet of small yellow flowers atop a small dark green plant that looks like a tomato plant type leaf. I think I will glypho the 4 acres soon as the OSR isn’t...
