I know this has been covered before, but now that more time has passed (since many converted to direct drills whether using conventionally, a mixture or DD), how are spring sown crops yielding at 25cm? How are the issues with brackling? In practice is there much difference between 16,7cm and...

I didn't get much planted last season, don't want to get it wrong again Mine is ready to go, thinking I'll go after the weekend,16th Sept at 100 kg. Choice is Dawsum, Skyscraper, Champion. Toying with the idea of blending and adding some Gleam in too. Kind-ish land, good seedbeds, 1st wheats???

We are a mainly livestock mixed farm growing 30 acre of winter barley for stock feed. Establishment has always been plough power harrow based. Son who is keen on regen ways, wants to drill this year's barley with a Sumo DTS. I am happy to do this in theory, but wondered what the more...

I'm currently looking at tine drill options as our strip till system is making our blackgrass problems worse - to the point that blackgrass levels are dictating cropping & cultivation policy. What I need is a tine drill that can cope with brashy stone, and be capable of sowing into unmoved...

Hi all. I’m farming up in North Yorkshire on some heavy going land. Plenty of muck goes on. Current system is Sumo Trio and then carrier if needed. Drill with vaderstad. I’m wanting to move into the more no till territory on some of the better fields first so I’m looking at a later model Horsch...

Got some permanent pasture that's pretty tired and I don't have much use for, I was planning on planting rape so as to avoid issues with leatherjackets/wirework, then following with wheat next year. The whole block needs liming and has just been silage, my question is would I be best trying to...

I'm always finding the key to a good year being good establishment. This year has been hard with the weather and even with my old fashioned style of plough, cultivate, drill, the spring corn isn't great. More intensive one pass onto plough with a combi could have got timeliness better this year...

This is the first year we are having a field of Maize on our farm to sell the standing crop. The only machine we don’t have is a shakerator (or similar) and I always see maize people shakerate the field before or after ploughing… is this necessary? The field is light and has been in an...

Is it too late to plant now ..diablo variety , field very different in the fact one end is quite shallow and stoney , other half wet and heavy?

Just wondering if there's any further information out yet as to what constitutes no till in the eyes of SFI? Is it a dts/mzuri/claydon direct into stubble? Or is it going to be lower disturbance tine or disc? Supposedly a claydon grain and fert meets the grant spec with the leading tine applying...

I've taken on a few fields and want to subsoil due to past management decisions. I don't do any currently except where I've made a mess with a 16000 L tanker, and using the shaky legs is just to disruptive to the surface and structure. I'd like a leg that is much gentler in it's approach...
