Got some fungicide, growth reg and manganese to go on wheat and barley but keep getting -1 for a few hours early morning. I’m holding off at the moment, are people still spraying and do they have any bad scorching
Anybody any experience of applying glyphosate post drilling and had a problem due to it catching the emerging crop?
I have done a couple of acres of beet as a trial just before the seedlings break through the surface in a particularly weedy patch so I guess I’ll soon know but just wondered if...
Blue skies again this morning, touch of frost and no rain for next day in forecast, some snow forecast for tomorrow.
Drought, I mean extended dry period, sorry @Farmer Roy
Have some of the above to sow
Can use 90% cereal, so we are using oats seeing as we have some.
What rate are people sowing the oats
And do you mix the other seeds with the oats to sow or sow seperate.
Cheers
Winter wheat just starting to stand up (gs30), not rolled at backend on heavy clay land that doesn't drought.
Would you roll it or not, and if so flat or Cambridge?
Thanks
So we’ve only got Defy - see attached, but having applied this in the autumn we’ve now got ryegrass come back through so we must be resistant to that as well.
Tried ploughing and it doesn’t work.
Tried No-Till and that doesn’t work.
Tried spring crops and they aren’t working.
Tried maize and it...
Finally moved into the 20th century and have pre-em markers on the drill.
What's the best way to suggest to the roller man to conserve the visibility of my marks?
Have I missed this thread or has no one started?
Mucked 2 weeks ago.
Soil loosening with topsoiler yesterday and today.
Work with the carrier tomorrow and then wednesday.................. rain!!!? :rolleyes:
This is for spring barley.
How is everyone getting on, still to wet?
Has anybody got a Vaderstad roller with crosskill rings??
If so how do you find it ? Asking as i am thinking of buying one . It is claimed by Vaderstad that the crosskill has a significant cultivation effect so might be a suitable alternative to running a power harrow ahead of the combi on...
Hey
As an Australian, it’s something that I’m not that familiar with & probably don’t have a good grasp on, but reading TFF it seems that a lot of farm businesses operate on leased / rented land ( owned by the Duke of Westminster, or the C of E or some other massive aristocratic landowner )...
May end up with some this year, what variety stands/combines easily, etc?
Imagine yield percentage is secondary to other factors perhaps, has linseed moved on any in 10yrs since I last had a fairly unsatisfying attempt at it?

One of my clients was recently recruiting tractor drivers, I was helping with interviews and references.
There was this one guy who stood out above the rest, great qualifications, CV and references, so they gave him a one week trial
He was relocating area with his wife and 2 kids, so was...
Long story short is that I’m a new entrant dairy farmer who sold most of our beef cattle to fund the project hence we are down in numbers and have planted some winter barley which will be a useful feed. As per below picture I think it has potential and I don’t want to ruin it. Are there any...
Looks like we MAY get an opportunity to drill later this week, push on with Skyfall h/s and in stock or switch to sp barley or oats? All in stock and ready to go, I think stick with Wheat for another ten days max. Thoughts please
