    Hi all, my winter barley never received a pre em and there is now meadow grass in areas of the field. Will anything touch it? Will need spraying for wild oats, will axial pro just knock the meadow grass and it will recover? Tia

    Low disturbance arable subsoilers

    I’m thinking I need one to relieve compaction now I am moving away from ploughing. I like the idea of low disturbance, but is that possible combined with removing compaction? Are leading discs important? How many legs/meter? Do some manufacturers make a better job of it than others?

(Maybe 0% feed crops, as I know many farmers are a bit workaholic) We could...

    SAM2 Mulitspecies cover, who is doing it and what's your plan?

    I had previously been overlooking SAM2 mutlispecies cover. Is it really as simple as we drill autumn cereal crop as usual, give it a light sprinkle of some other species and claim it as Sam2? Seems to have the potentially to be the most reward for least cost/effort option of all SFI...
