    Summer cover crop destruction.

    Any advice would be welcome on this. I have 80ha of heavy, flinty, hilly land going into winter wheat that currently looks like this: It's chest/ head high, completely alive with insects, and is mainly spring linseed, buckwheat, sunflowers, phacelia, and a bit of clover and vetch. I don't...

    Unwanted grass in barley.

    I hope an arable farmer can please give me a clue about this problem before I speak to Luke Cropwalker. Ploughed out grass in spring. It was a great job, and the herbicide seemed to work. Barley looked good. Suddenly after the summer went sour and it rained so much, all the grass suddenly...

    SAM2 Multi-species cover crop

    As far as I understand the rules for the above. I am entitled to spin some beans into my winter barley at drilling, leave them in until the spring, and claim for the £129/hectare. Has anyone clarified this with the higher powers by any chance? It seems like a no brainer

    Companion cropping in wheat.

    Any ideas what might survive a pre em on wheat? OSR volunteers may suffice on some but what else? Is there anything or do we have to risk missing the pre em?

    Early sown osr. Worth it?

    I have winter barley cut and baled. Some lime to go on one field. Plenty of soil moisture but free draining land. North Oxfordshire on shallow brash. Drill next week or delay until later? For those of you who have drilled osr at the end of July, how has it worked out please?

    DIY pre-em and bout markers for 3m drill

    Is it possible to buy "ready-made" bout and pre-emergence markers for a simple 3 m trailed drill (Aitchison Seedmatic)? Any ideas / workshop projects / recommendations? Need to mark tramlines as there is no tramline shutoff on the drill and sprayer man wants pre emergence markers. Thanks in advance

    Following on from groundswell bicropping

    So folks. Who's done it? Who's making it work? What seed rates? What management? What crops? Outputs? (It was mentioned that it's 1.3 times the monocropping option, but was that just oat or both added up because a few beans in an oat trailer would add a lot of weight due simply to them being so...

    NRoSO making life more difficult

    NRoSO have changed the rule about collecting points. You now have to collect 10 every year, not 30 over 3 and you will not be allowed to roll spare points over to the next year.
