    Is genetic diversity being used as well as it could be in UK farming?

    Thinning thick rape

    I’ve read various suggestions over the years, but wondering if there is a reliable way to thin out thick and forward rape. The forwardness doesn’t worry me so much, but it is quite thick. It’s conventional, and the seed rate was kept up to allow for CSFB/slug losses etc, but it ended up all...
