Currently a traditional set up; plough/ heavy cultivations then drill but looking at going straight in to stubble or minimum amount of tillage.
Looking at a Claydon, are they any good…?
Cropping consists of wheat, barley, oats, maize & grass but obviously would only be for cereal crops.
Seriously considering the Mzuri route. Our soils are high clay content so generally quite heavy.
And I want to use it for the whole rotation and stick to the system, which entails growing maize as well as wheat/OSR/beans.
What are peoples thoughts on the system now they’ve been about for roughly...

Does any one know any thing about them A T Houghton has a new one gone out to a customer they look a bit like weaving sabre tines fitted to a ts evo drill some good pictures would be interesting
Starting to get a little worried now. Spring seed might be short... Weather doesnt look great on the forcast - given how sh!t harvest was, could we be in for just as bad an autumn?
Has anyone ever autumn established SFI AHL2 after a crop off winter wheat, grown fast seeding crops such as mustard and then gone into a spring barley late March early April?
Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!
We had a new Sumo DTS toolbar/front hopper this spring which has had quite a few issues and Sumo have been very good at sorting them out so far.
All of our spring crops had massive 20m misses/boxes on the “ins” put down to surging oil flow to the fan and a lots of air leaks on the pressurised...
Morning
Presumably most are still planning on planting wheat in the next month or so.
With current prices and profitability what’s everyone’s thoughts on pre em choices and rates ?
cheers
Never grown them before, recovering OSR grower. Which is a good winter variety and what seed rate if ploughing or Claydon drilled please? Any other advice welcome.
Members of the Scottish fibre flax field lab have just finished harvesting the trial crop; this blog explores how it’s done and what observations the group have been making about which variety works best.
In this field lab, growers are aiming to rekindle the lost linen industry in Scotland...
We are having issues with our T7.315. New last year and FMX installed by dealer and GPS supplier (well known national firm) at local tractor dealership. It is on RTK with a local Trimble base station. We run three FMX units in CNH tractors and the other two are working fine. Last autumn and...
Thinking about our bean stubbles in particular which have a fairly weedy understory this year. Some of the weeds if left will set seed imminently (groundsel being our particular nemesis nowadays), but don't want to be too reliant on more than one pre-planting roundup.
Also - thinking about...
We’re on soils that go hard and struggling to find a machine to chit them unless they are wet. We persevered with a vaderstad carrier for a few years but got rid of it in the end as it just wouldn’t penetrate hard soils. We then used a mounted disc/press machine with the idea the tractor linkage...
