What’s the best, and what’s the best value for money. Never used one before, but gone back to drilling conventional at 12kg/ha in mid August.

I’m growing rye for the first time this year. I’ve got hybrid variety Serafino. It follows wheat, straw baled, stubble raked, drilled last week of September with JD750a. The issue I have is that it is thin in the swath rows. I take it that it doesn’t like the toxins from the wheat chaff. Has...

Know it's miles early. What's he collectives thoughts now CTL has passed on. Is Iodus (Laminarin?) any use on Septoria and Mildew (plenty of peatground) or is it a case of Folpet with fingers firmly crossed? In the West so Septoria is the main target.

Hello, I have wheat at tillering stage and it got freeze injury. It has 3 tillers, sown october 5 2020 and got very extensive leaf necrosis. So it is in stress now and would be ok for rolling or i have to wait.

Long story short is that I’m a new entrant dairy farmer who sold most of our beef cattle to fund the project hence we are down in numbers and have planted some winter barley which will be a useful feed. As per below picture I think it has potential and I don’t want to ruin it. Are there any...

anyone used it?

What would anyone say is a fair walking fee for a good indy agronomist, my feeling is between £6.50 and £7, with the ability to quote on recommendations made giving the opportunity to earn commission. I'm hearing of people paying £8 and above for indy advice and the opportunity to quote would...

Does spring rolling of winter cereals germinate blackgrass in zero till clay? (There is good ground cover from residue)

As the title says, has it been a success, pro’s and con’s please, I seem to always get lot’s of brackeling and a degree of root lodging.

Historically have used high N inputs and comprehensive growth regulator programmes in winter Barley , targeting 10 t/ha malting barley crops. In last few seasons gut feel is that i am getting significant yield hits from the last terpal application ( last couple of seasons has coincided with hot...

Does anyone grow rye to harvest with a combine. Looking at growing some for next harvest to feed pigs on. Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Read in a thread about straw shorter, which I am guessing is a spray, logic tells me it prevents lodging, but does it decrease straw yield drastically or just make the straw thicker and shorter? TIA

Growing some Spring oats for first time, hasn't had any PGR upto now due to dry April and May (15mm) but have now had 21mm of rain in last few days and was going to but 0.5l of Canopy on tomorrow but just looked this evening and a good proportion of the plants have boots splitting with upto 8...

Anyone who grows spring oats regularly?, if so how do you influence specific weight in s oats.

Unusually cold this week. Another frost this morning, so at least 3 this week now. Have T2 on wheat to do, T1 on SB and some beans to tidy up. All mixes containing a herbicide. Anybody not applying with such low night temps?

Is it wise to put shortner on s Barley it’s growing well but it’s been and is forecast to stay dry for a while yet ?

Unless I've missed it, surprised this discussion hasn't started. Just about to start our earliest wheat. Have mid October Extase and Zyatt to do. Was planning CTL + epoxi, but now next week is looking wetter, do I drop some Imtrex in to make it up to equivalent of 0.8l/ha of Adexar?

Not really picked up on this before - thinking practically - are we talking bone dry or just not straight after rain but ok as dew is beginning to lift??? Thanks

Nothing yet limiting me from doing things, but starting to find some products taking longer to source and/or prices seem to have jumped. I get the feeling some firms have increased their prices due in the main to shortage of stock and increases further back the supply chain.

All of our wheat was drilled at the end of October and 99% will see the combine. I’m due to spray pgr, manganese and Broadway Star this week and don’t see the point in adding a fungicide. Varieties - skyfall, firefly and extase. No ctl to use up and it’s set to stay dry . Just wondering what...
