    Who counts the bee population

    Production of some crops has been decimated due to the loss of insecticides over the last 20 years, sorry 45 years. Has the bee population increased, if not why not?

    Winter cover crops on heavy land... what a disaster

    I farm heavy silty clay with flints. No ditches, no land drains. Good strong wheat land, if unforgiving. I've been trying to grow cover crops on and off for the last 9 yrs. With one exception, they have all been disastrous. Summer cover crops in place of a spring crop, on the other hand, can...
