Do you think just growing 1 variety of wheat is a risk. Do some variations do better some years with weather conditions than other. I have stuck to one per year for ease and only have 1 shed for wheat but I will have a 2nd she's for wheat next harvest. Would you know milling as a 2nd wheat and...

Considering growing a field to try this year in place of a spring barley crop which generally performs poorly on gravel. Anyone a regular grower? How much N are you using, fungicide programme, yield? And are you blending it in with a feed wheat heap to market?

So folks. Who's done it? Who's making it work? What seed rates? What management? What crops? Outputs? (It was mentioned that it's 1.3 times the monocropping option, but was that just oat or both added up because a few beans in an oat trailer would add a lot of weight due simply to them being so...

Whats this AB6 he was on about, leaving stubble over winter and get £522 pounds a hec. Been trawling through dozens of gov. uk pages where they say a lot but typicaly tell you nothing. :rolleyes: :facepalm:

I understand that Hybrid Wheats are supposed to be better in more marginal conditions such as lighter soils or a drier season. Does anyone have experience with them and want to share their thoughts?

What do you think the price will be for next year. Following at 48% increase for this harvest how big a drop are we expecting.

We are arable farmers traditionally, but have taken on a lot of grass recently. We have a small herd of pedigree herfords that we love, although will take forever and a fortune to build them up to get all of our grass eaten off. Keen on not calving and maybe buying young and fattening. I see...

Financial hit. Or taking poison fields of blackgrass to harvest.

What percentage of autum sown osr has everybody got that they are going to harvest. I’ve lost 10% to dry weather and fleabetle. Just wondering about cropping for next year and if it’s worth attempting to grow osr this autumn.
