Several fields of hybrid rye where the crop has only really survived on top of drains. Maybe 20% of field areas actually growing, so no point patching. No spring fert or autumn herbicide at all. What to do? Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...

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...

Ok, putting the Winter/Spring rainfall aside for a minute, is anyone else finding this a strange Spring? The local Reading University soil and air temperatures (link below) have been well above seasonal average, but I’m finding everything to be so slow to get away this year. We are now into the...

What with me being a skin flint and all, has anyone tried extending the life of their plough boards by welding say a long thin plate onto the back of the board edge. Seems a waste just dumping the board as it's the only part on the board that wears

What would be a good pressure to run 650/85 r38 at for general work ? Ploughing/cultivations/grass work ? Not looking to be constantly adjusting pressures tho !

Please let me be the first to say “potatoes!” Id be interested to hear all about them. Cheers Gary

It’s been a hell of a wet time. We have some seriously slumped soils. What are people planning to do to alleviate the damage? Leave it to natural processes? Deep rooted cover crop? Deeper loosening tine? Plough? A lot will depend on the weather this summer but just wondered what general...
