If Italy is in shut down .....how is it that reporters from all over the world can suddenly arrive there to report ? I'm just hope that the Vegan bandwagon doesn't try ,by some means, to link it to livestock however tenuously just to cause doubt and mischief !

Certainly a difficult year but walked out late (September) drilled block today that has had me concerned all autumn and was pleasantly surprised no inputs at all so far apart from the farm saved seed and 50kgs DAP at drilling Going to be a battle keeping pigeons off all winter but frankly I...

This autumn has highlighted a major weakness in the way the majority of arable crops are established in the uk, min-till particularly on heavy soils. The need to create a chit of the major grass weeds by a light cultivation and leaving for 4-6 weeks has left us exposed if the weather changes as...

Currently have a lot of sheep grazing my covers planted into osr stubbles first week of August. They're really doing very well. It's got me thinking about planting osr very early , as soon as wheat is cut. Getting it very strong and forward , then grazing it off to open the canopy up and remove...

What does everyone else spray for osr winter protection? Ground is wet so don’t think I’ll get it on. Agronomist wants me to spray a fungicide, hallmark for winter stem weevil and 2 different lots of trace elements. Seems a bit much to me?

Now the easier ground is being drilled, I thought it would be interesting to find out what has astually been planted by end of today and then perhaps do the same again in a weeks time So my scores on the doors are ,,,,,,,, rape a total failure,,,,,,,, grass seed drilled and coming...

So who's getting concerned, with 70 mm in the rain gauge since Sunday and a lot more to come over the week I certainly am. If your on free draining soil then probably not but I reside on sticky red marl which can take an age to dry out. Most of the ground is moved and was in good condition...

It's this old chestnut again. Walking across my rape stubbles there is a fine stand of volunteer plants now well out of danger from the flea beetle except of course for larval damage later. There are very few weeds as it had preharvest glyphosate and hasn't been disturbed. The plant population...
