My ploughing knowledge can be fitted on a postage stamp (if you can find one). I assume it is a Ransomes? Any ideas? Mouldboards look to be in fair order.

We are wondering whether to just clean and not dress it just incase we don't use it.I know others do it what are your thoughts?

Thirty yr ago we had the mc sharry reforms and compulsory set aside and and everyone was despondent. Then the weather intervened and had 3 yrs of drought after a wet 93 back end. Turned out to be the best farming period ever. The weather is intervening again

I farm heavy silty clay with flints. No ditches, no land drains. Good strong wheat land, if unforgiving. I've been trying to grow cover crops on and off for the last 9 yrs. With one exception, they have all been disastrous. Summer cover crops in place of a spring crop, on the other hand, can...

Anyone know the current price for a 3 ltr. pack ?

Something to watch! Looks like glyphosate is being banned as a desiccant for milling oats in Europe, not here at the moment but I suspect it might happen. Is there anything left in the arsenal to desiccate uneven crops? C B

Think this is willow herb? Best herbicide to kill it pre spring barley drilling please?

Having a clear out in the workshop, came across this unopened 25L drum. Picture of the only identification on it. So what is it 🤷‍♂️ :rolleyes::X3::scratchhead::LOL:......

To all those involved in the Sugar Beet industry, I would appreciate approximately 15 minutes of your time to answer the below survey for my dissertation project titled: ‘Does sugar beet fit into a regenerative agricultural future with a focus on striving for net-zero?’. If you have any further...

From some conversations I’ve had recently, I’m getting the feeling there’s some panick in businesses that rely on farming customers that large scale SFI options could become very popular. For instance, suggesting that it wouldn’t be moral, or that you wouldn’t be a real “farmer” if you take...
