    Risky or not

    Sprayed some stubble off with glyphosate on Saturday, hoping to drill on Wednesday, weathers changed and could do with getting grass undersown with barley in today, agronomist says I shouldn't do it because it needs 5 days before drilling anything into it... Do I risk it?

    Peas are new to me. Thought I’d try something for a change but probably shouldve just gone sfi. Never really bothered with basagran in beans but I guess peas tolerate competition less well? I believe you can mix mcpb if you are feeling brave. Good idea? Cut rates of both? Rain has stimulated...

    My (new to me) Gem sprayer has a ramsey type pressure controller and an RDS Delta 34 rate controller. I've only ever used a sprayer with valve/bleed off type of pressure control before and no rate controller! I understand that I pressurise the ramsey valve to the pressure I want to spray at...

    Hot air balloons landing in fields

    Seem to be getting a lot of these this year. They tend to land and scraper fairly quickly. What do others do when this happens? As kids we used be taken up in them and dad was given a bottle every time they came.
