We’ve always grown s barley for wholecrop, but last year‘s efforts were horrendous. Sodding wet spring (after dusty Feb/March), followed on by many weeks of no rain. Barley got sown late, established then gasped for water. None of it managed to get over 12 inches high.
This year’s heading the...
What would Wolverine or Librax same chem one or the other with Elatus Era say 1 litre of each plus pgr, Clormaquat and some Trinaxapac Ethyl for aT1 application?
As a distraction to the soggy non existent spring drilling programme, I'm looking ahead to the autumn and want to reduce my spring cropping area, currently about 1/3 of the farm thanks to blackgrass. Winter barley for feed isn't really any good for blackgrass control in terms of herbicide...

Ho hum.
Looking at AB10’as an option under mid tier at £1072 ha it’s an interesting option. Continuous Spring cereals which you never harvest.
Just wanted to know of anyone who could tell me the pit falls?
Last few years I have used whole barley with a protein pellet for lambs in creep feeders and its worked well. Far cheaper than bought in pellets.
This year I have kept back my usual bit of barley to use but I also have a few tonne of wheat that never went at harvest. Thinking about adding that...
I farm heavy silty clay with flints. No ditches, no land drains. Good strong wheat land, if unforgiving.

Summer cover crops in place of a spring crop, on the other hand, can...

This year the straw I’ve been supplied is chopped, how this straw compares as bedding to non chopped:
Negative:
1. Cattle are mucky after 24hrs, to keep them in the same condition as non chopped straw would need double the round bales.
2. It’s probably due to to a wetter year and how the wind...
A biggish fat lamb (50kg?) is worth £160. (the same as a ton of barley)
A small fat beast (500kg) is worth £1600. (the same as 10 tons of barley).
Has the value of finished stock compared to the price of grain ever been a high during the last 10,000 years?
Chatting with my agronomist this morning and he was telling me how some FBT agreements, down in more arable areas, had clauses in them requiring the land to be soil tested at the beginning and end of the term with a full spectrum analysis, with a charge to put right any degradation.
