    Grassland overseed

    Have several fields where leys are starting to get tired, I would like to perk them up a bit. Would prefer not to plough out, how successful would hammering with grass harrows in September and chucking seed on? I do realize weather would be dependent. Any downfalls? Tia.

    Beef cattle, numbers game or myth?

    Are cattle now a numbers game with forklifts at 90k, tractors at 130k, contractor rates and repair costs now through the roof it strikes me that running a small herd or fattning number will struggle to pay for this let alone provide a profit, arent producers going to have to think bigger in...

    Direct drilling into heavy clays is a battle still to be won

    Eight years of trials with cover crops and direct drilling has prompted more questions than answers. The soil advisers at Agrii like to remind me that there is more to direct drilling than simply placing the seed into uncultivated ground. “You have to earn the right,” they tell me in reference...

    How to boost direct drilled spring barley

    I’ve got a problem with some spring barley drilled with a 750 into spring wheat stubble on March 30th. The barley has no go in it, it’s all got spindly leaves and no tillers and despite an 85% establishment it still hasn’t covered between the rows after emerging about a month ago. I’m not sure...

    Horsch joker alternative.

    What are the option out there for a machine like a horsch joker with a tg bar. Plenty of manufactures do a short disc and plenty do something like a sumo but very few do a short disc with a set of ripper type legs rather than a sub-soiler.
