Asking for a friend! Is it possible for the owner to claim delapidations when it all goes wrong? Looking at possible negatives to letting land for grazing
Grazing let for livestock which never turn up, consequently the land has a fine crop of docks which should have been topped. The licence is...
Has anyone ever autumn established SFI AHL2 after a crop off winter wheat, grown fast seeding crops such as mustard and then gone into a spring barley late March early April?
Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!

We’ve got a field that’s poor drainage wise, worst on the farm by a mile. Had an awful year with it, sopping wet in the spring, barely dried out all "summer". Got naff all spring barley wholecrop off it, made a disgraceful mess in July, miracle we didn’t get machinery stuck. Got it flatlifted...
I’ve just burnt off and dd permanent grass seed 3 days ago. As an after thought, to graze a few ram lambs in the winter, can I broadcast rape at a quarter rate to boost protein? What are people’s view on this please? Otherwise, are there any other suggestions. Thanks all.
Just going around a couple of fields that had spring wholecrop, barley and peas and there’s a surprising amount of clover coming in them. They were ploughed out of grass but no clover in the previous leys.
They had slurry before being ploughed, could the clover have come that way as plenty of my...
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...
UK farmers embark on a crucial agricultural practice that is pivotal to the success of their livestock management and forage production: autumn reseeding.
This is one of the most cost-effective on-farm investments. It involves establishing new pasture or fodder crops during autumn to ensure a...
Anyone have much experience grazing red clover with lambs, and do and don’t to look out for? Have 8 acres here and fit to mow again and thinking might graze it as dont need the bales, so thinking of grazing
Hi
Would using a land leveller after discing ( 4 passes trailed heavy discs) ground for a reseed be a successful method to use?
Seen it noted in another forum where the land leveller will leave turned up clods on the surface .
Power harrow seems the preferred method after discing, however if the...
What's the most the high yielding people on here have fed to their cows? I've gone up to 13kg before but was wondering how much more I could push it? Will be for cows doing 50-60 if not more litres
They'll be having 3-4kg rolled wheat, 4kg soya hulls and 1.5kg of hipro soya through the parlour...
I've seen people taking a chance and starting hedge cutting a bit early in previous years but never in the 2nd week of August, in fields right next to a busy main road too. Not good for the image of farming.
I've recently started leasing some land that was in continuous grass for years. I've noticed a good bit of wireworm damage on tubers. A neighbour recommended mustard as a biofumigant but advisor said I'd be wasting my time. Question is, what biocontrol are you guys using?

Recent wet weather across Northern Ireland has resulted in grass swards being ineffectively grazed, damaged or not harvested, which not only affects herd performance now but also winter forage diets.
This is according to the senior technologist at the...
