Still considering the "sow after winter barley" approach for the ahl2. Would replace a break crop. All mixes contain a cereal, - spring barley or spring wheat. Anybody worried about not getting a clean cereal break with this approach. Or is Feb to September a long enough break?

Hoping the techies on here can help Since last year we have had a new to us Amazone ZA-TS spinner, wich was eventaully fully set up with GPS switch, sectional control etc. No autosteer. Now I may be thick, (probably) but what do people do for guidance with this? i.e. setting up and following AB...

I see there appears to be some momentum to protest but @delilah is right... what are YOU going to protest about? I suspect we all want something different as we are often divergent from each other even within each sector. If I was in Cardiff with a banner, it would be focused on the dash to net...

Anybody actually done a winter wheat gross margin recently vs sfi?

We have applied vra P and K for years although recently Biosolids and chicken manure has made it semi redundant. We have always used SOYL to sample and create pretty maps and then prepare a recommendation. Are others still using SOYL, anyone doing anything different. VRA nitrogen has always...

Please only take part in the poll if your farm is subject to or could be subject to any sort of Farm Assurance scheme, including Red Tractor or QMS.

I had previously been overlooking SAM2 mutlispecies cover. Is it really as simple as we drill autumn cereal crop as usual, give it a light sprinkle of some other species and claim it as Sam2? Seems to have the potentially to be the most reward for least cost/effort option of all SFI...

Please feel free to correct me but where is the sense in spring cropping now? Does it makes more sense to put in a wild flower mix or some other rotational SFI action? Grow Spring Barley £/Acre approx. 25 - plough 25 - power harrow 40 - seed cost 30 - Drill 10 - Roll 10 - Pre em 30 -...

Like all, the current climate around the industry and uncertainty around most things is dictating our decisions and influencing the potential choices we have to make or things we can't do. We like to stay in the footing if able to pounce at opportunities without been tied down or signed up for...

Just parked it up. Didn't realise it was an issue until I drove home and it wouldn't turn off 4 wheel drive. Lives in a hedger, is it something I've pulled off underneath or simple as a brake light out.. I've tried on and off a few times and upon pressing button on command arm it turns back on...

Grain producers, please feed into the consultation for digital grain passports. Their introduction is likely to disadvantage independent grain traders and result in further consolidation of the grain trade. As growers we need greater diversity in the grain market not less. It seem like growers...

Written by janineadamson from CPM Magazine A sunflower marketing pool has been launched in response to increased interest in the crop from growers looking for spring alternatives. Although only 400ha is currently grown in the UK, seed supplier Grainseed has confirmed demand could in fact...

Anyone use them, only heard of them for the first time yesterday. BB

Normal nonsense from OSR, • drilled 45ac nothing came of it. • Ploughed some land before Lucerne establishment and seed that we buried about 7 years ago is thriving can't kill the bloody stuff. If I rolled it before a decent frost would it check it or kill it or merely act as pruning and give...

Has anyone had any experience on spreading chicken manure in the spring on cereals and OSR? Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated.

Against U.K. Agriculture? Make standards and regulations for home production so high that we can’t possibly compete with imports as there’s no identifiable premium for home production. Allow imports in that don’t meet our standards so are inherently cheaper to produce. Apply tighter and more...

As above. I have my own 1,200 store lambs so timings on and off won't be a problem I'm not looking for the feed but more if it will decrease disease later in the year..... will it increase straw? Straw is important to me. I'm guessing heavy mob grazing and back out ASAP is best? Had...
