So rumour has it interest rates to go up again by .5%,how can they reduce inflation by hitting the public to cut spending yet energy etc constantly going up.They now want food prices down to help but does that mean they expect industry etc to run at a loss .I just can’t get my head round the...
I have a field of grass I intend to graze with sheep over winter it adjoins a field of spring barley does anyone successfully sow stubble turnips after spring barley or is it too late? It would be the first few days in September before I could get them sown, this is Lancashire about 40ft above...
Just realised that I hadn't filled this in and sent it. The big question: what on earth do you put for the litres used? of course you can get a figure from you supplier but what a meaningless sum. Glyphosate going on at say, 4l/ha and SU going on at 20g/ha.

We’ve been stalwart milling wheat(group 1 /2 growers ) for years
Zyatt finally bit the dust here last season after a few years getting fed up of chasing the disease in it and life’s a little too short to look at something in a field that doesn’t quite please your eye regardless!
We grew...
we’ve got a field of W barley that’s got a bad brome problem, I knew it was there in the wheat last year as it had a few bits that had been waterlogged and killed the crop but I’d no idea it would be as bad as it is the field hasn’t had brome in before 3 years ago and was permanent grass till...

I sowed my own spring barley on the 20th of March,
I called in on it tonight, to see whether it needs spraying or not…. It does…
However, it’s got the barley awns poking out of the top of the leg!! I was amazed, it’s only been in the ground a few weeks!!

Looking for ideas for a non brassica winter forage crop to go in after spring barley and ahead of maize next spring. Can be grazed with sheep or cattle. Light sandy free draining ground. Don’t want brassica as it was stubble turnips ahead of the spring barley. Suggestions?

I have split a heavy clay field into 4. Direct drill, shallow cultivation, Plough and shallow discs with low disturbance to 200mm. This is the first year. 5th winter wheat, straw removed, FYM and compost applied April 2021 in previous crop. Unfortunately the grass weeds seem to have suddenly got...
