Budget £15k-£20k. Ability to spread SFI mixes at 12m. Cereal work 36m. Urea and P&K. Gypsum would be handy as well. Mounted or trailed. Weigh cells. Auto shut off would be nice but not paramount. Headland management would be nice but not paramount. Is there anything made out of galvanised steel?

thinking if a grass lay would fit in the rotation with SFI. Would either of these scenarios work and would I need to plant a high vigour seed £50/ac or a standard 1 to 2 year lay £40/ac plant in april and plough out end of September (would you get 2 cuts) plant in august (rain permitting)...

I’m thinking of making the move back to spreading fertiliser instead of using liquid. Anybody done it and regretted it? We can’t put on liquid P & K so have to use a contractor and as we are 36m spread pattern is hit and miss. We’ve had scorch last year and this year with this year in...

Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.

Several fields of hybrid rye where the crop has only really survived on top of drains. Maybe 20% of field areas actually growing, so no point patching. No spring fert or autumn herbicide at all. What to do? Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...
