In light of the latest let down for farmers who pay there wages (see the red tractor sector board passes leadership vote of no confidence thread) what do we need to do to trigger a vote on AHDB cereals future? The AHDB is clearly still not listening to farmers so time is up and direct action...- Drillman

Chafer auto contour
Have a 2015 Guardian with 24m booms with the above fitted. I bought it third hand and the chap I bought it from said he didn’t use the auto height because it was rubbish.

Michael Gove and the Conservatives did this.
Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.- DrWazzock

T1 spray
Just knocking a few ideas about. Before epoxy was banned we used adexar 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) epoxiconazole and 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) fluxapyroxad.
