second wheat

We’ve been stalwart milling wheat(group 1 /2 growers ) for years Zyatt finally bit the dust here last season after a few years getting fed up of chasing the disease in it and life’s a little too short to look at something in a field that doesn’t quite please your eye regardless! We grew...

we’ve got a field of W barley that’s got a bad brome problem, I knew it was there in the wheat last year as it had a few bits that had been waterlogged and killed the crop but I’d no idea it would be as bad as it is the field hasn’t had brome in before 3 years ago and was permanent grass till...

Its a long time since I did any arable farming or crop spraying, so please excuse my ignorance. It has become quite apparent here in France that my neighbour - a good tidy farmer - is getting a BG problem. He doesn't plough but on our argilo calcaire land [chalky clay is the nearest...

Who is doing one and what are you using . Forecast after Wednesday is looking dry and warmer, so wondering if there’s much to be gained, other than piece of mind .

Black grass in spring barley is there any spray to control it?

Anybody go? The Good, the Bad, the Ugly? Watching the first video on Youtube ground conditions looked testing with wet clay land and the soil pit actually filling with water overnight!! Interested to hear people who went thoughts? Cheers Alistair

With input price inflation high, is anybody considering suspending production for a year?

what are peoples thoughts/experience of spraying the above with cold temperatures at night? Damage to crop or reduced control.
