Got these test results back today, I'm guessing no need for a spd, just get it in the ground. One will be 1st wheat and the other W barley.

Ploughing up some one year old leys this year, what seed treatment would you put on the seed? Any need for signal? And any particular wheat variety performs better in this slot? Cheers in advance

Has anyone been able to get a price for cereal seed yet this year?

Haven't seen takeall for years but there clearly was some in some second wheat (5th cereal) this year. Field is due to go into wheat again - anything that can be done to reduce risk?

I usually dress around 10-12 tonne of my own wheat seed. This year I was for various reasons including grass weeds was going to buy ‘c2 seed’ from the merchant. However having received orders /invoice for £575 a tonne and now falling prices I’m thinking home save what I’ve got again( after...

Drilled some wheat after grass (ploughed, cultipress, drilled with Rapid) and about 30-50% of it hasn’t germinated, it’s just sat there and swollen up, looks like it’s rotting. Any ideas why or what may have caused it?? The headland, which was drilled last, looks a lot better that the middle...

To drill winter barley now? Long story short (probably won’t be 😂), just finish drilling the the last 50ac block of wheat today and I’m left with a little 5ac field that was supposed to be the last field and destined for a first wheat. Anyway turns out I’m a bag of seed short 🤦🏻‍♂️ don’t...

Just thinking aloud for next spring cropping. A barley pea mix would need no nitrogen !!!. Would be high yielding and a high protein feed for the cattle. A win win there but there are downsides that I am well aware of: A) Rats will love it B) Could this be cut with a mower without...

Looks like I will be about 1/2 a bag short of wheat seed. I have some old seed that is 3 years old that was treated with single purpose and latitude, it's either that or use some off the heap? Reason for asking is I heard somewhere that the seed treatment can affect germination after a time.

Noticing lots more ground Beetls since I’ve stopped using seed dressings. Any one else noticed this They can eat up to 10 slugs a day. Y have we be lead down this path of seed dressings / slug pellets at all.

I keep reading about BYDV tolerant Wheat and Barley varieties, but from what I can see the majority of the recommended list do not fall into this camp. I am aware there are one or two resistant varieties in the pipeline, and even now being grown commercially, but is the any tolerance in...
