Just taken delivery of a new JD6155m, don’t get me wrong it’s a nice tractor but when compared to the previous 6630 it’s a bit dull to drive. I know they are not allowed to smoke when worked hard (which is quite right) but the engine has no bark to it at all in fact you can hardly hear what...

This year I was for various reasons including grass weeds was going to buy ‘c2 seed’ from the merchant.
However having received orders /invoice for £575 a tonne and now falling prices I’m thinking home save what I’ve got again( after...
Thought it would be a good idea now that harvest 2022 is well underway to have a thread with grain yields/ variety of Barley/ Wheat etc all in one place.
So how are your crops yielding for 2022?

Grown this variety of WW in the past and really liked it, but was told no longer available by Frontier a few years ago. I've now discovered its still out there being grown.
So, anyone growing it in the DD situation and hows it compare with Skyfall on disease nowadays ?
Thanks
Looking at Skyfall this morning, despite being very clean thus far, some yellow rust is starting to come on leaf 2, T3 was just tebuconazole about ten days ago, I know its getting late but a T4 going on Monday as soon as it arrives.
WB still looking three weeks away, so probably not starting here until 4th July, much later than in 1984.
Crops here were set back by early drought, so yields not likely to match those of 2019.
Nominal prices now at a record high but not yet approaching the £650/tonne in today's money...

Who is doing one and what are you using .
Forecast after Wednesday is looking dry and warmer, so wondering if there’s much to be gained, other than piece of mind .
Got a small coolant leak on Perkins tier 3, it’s not loosing much but want to get it sorted before gets worse. The rad is wet at the very bottom but no sign of corrosion, are the 64/74 series known for springing leaks? Its hard to get a good look at rad what with the plastic top and bottom. I’ve...

Anyone having issues with drip stop valve rubbers failing when spraying Corteva’s Univoq, Iconiq or similar?
Seems to a bit of an issue among sprayer drivers having widespread DSV failure on FB.
Hi All
I am researching the potential for using one of our novel organic bio-fungicides in conventional cereal crops.
The product in question is chitosan, which can be used in the UK/EU for fungal disease control. For more details see:
