please add your ideas :) i'm in for ploughin....straw burning....indoor lambin....pigs indoors

I have 90 hectares of AB15 legume mix to establish immediately after harvest. I have my seed delivered and waiting in the barn. Considering the late(ish) harvest and the fact that I am following spring barley, what establishment method should I use?

Is it to early to drill rape yet thinking go next week ?

Looking to put some rape/stubble turnips in on spring barley stubble. Usually plough and drill conventionally for sheep. But looking to keep the soil structure firmer and try and out winter some suckler cows. What’s everyone doing to drill theirs? To tight to get DD in so was thinking a one pass...

So bought over the freelander 2 60 reg this year due to it being a bit bigger . Anyway the french fuel seems to make my fuel gauge go mental , did the same last year , fill up and the gauge drops to 3/4 , and so on Just done it again , had 1/4 full then gauge drops to nil as does the range on...

I have a problem with volunteers ! Mainly wheat in the winter barley. I am thinking of stubble raking to increase the germination . But this goes against the idea of not moving any soil before direct drilling. We are in the 3rd year of dd and volunteers are becoming an issue. Or is there a...

What are everyone's thoughts then? Heard 'massive' on a different thread from south of us. May just be us, but mid/later season wheats(altitude or drill date/variety) hit by cool & wet at flowering-michodochium 15-20% florets on some ears, despite very robust (+PTZ) head spray. Earlier...

Thinking of putting stubble turnips in ,what is the going rate for sheep keep.not fenced.

Planning to put a grass ley in after wholecrop barley. Last year agronomist advised to leave barley stubble 2-3weeks to green up with weeds, then Roundup and drill grass a week later. This meant grass wasn’t sown until early Sept and never really got going last back end, so much so that we never...

Got AB15 legume fallow to establish, includes timothy in the seed mix (so can't use a graminicide). Going in after winter barley. Will the barley volunteers smother the AB15? So do I need a stale seedbed, any experience anyone? Kit available. Simba discs, power harrow combi drill, rollers...

I was wanting to upgrade my Trimble FM250 it has great accuracy but I would like a bigger screen and something that’s easier to put field numbers in for. It’s mainly used for spraying cereal and putting in the tramlines, pre ems and slug peppering etc Options are so far. Secondhand JD 1800...

I'm planning on drilling some catch crops after OSR and Winter Oats this year, but am wondering how to best get them established? I'm worried about volunteer OSR out competing the catch crop, so would it be best to wait for a chit of Rape volunteers, then either spray them off or take them out...

It's unproductive pp at the moment. One option would be to DD beans and use kerb, or grow a cover crop before drilling something in the spring to get 2 hits with glyphosate. There's going to be a load of seed waiting for an opportunity and probably creepy crawlies as well. I don't want to...

Let's see some interesting of everyone's bikes and what add ons do folk have for there bikes! Boxes that are useful or added metalwork to stop damage from cows etc

Nobody else involved according to Cabinet Office statement (if you discount his ego )

I'd like to hear from anyone with a manitou 630-105.....to know if ours is normal or not.....so called safety cut out jumps in with the slightest of weight on the front....finding operating it most of the time with my finger on the orange button....dealer just keeps saying theres nothing they...
