Having used a Dale drill successfully for 20 years of notillage leaving all straw chopped on the surface with a mix of autumn and spring sown cash crops . I have come to the conclusion that a notillage idealist approach is maybe not the answer and we have to be flexible to aerating the soil...
WHEAT
Ukraine are going to be strugling to plant wheat leaving the world short of wheat, this government need to look at a scheme to plant wheat instead of trees and solar panels
when will they wake up or will it take until we run out of food? I feel very sorry for the farmers in Ukraine as...
Unless the Ukraine situation gets sorted in the next 6 months, will there be any fertiliser of any sort available next year, at any price?
But then 5 t/ha wheat at £300, with much lower direct costs, might not be all that bad.
Seriously considering splitting what nitrogen we have in the shed across 2 seasons. Had planned to go with 140N/ha on both wheat and osr, dropping to 70kg N would insulate us from high N prices in 2023 but potential would drop to 6-7t/ ha I think. Averaged 8.3t in 2021 on 60:40 1st and 2nd...

Just heard Bayer have called Force Majeure on their glyphosate contracts....!
It's going to be a rocky ride ahead.
With this and fertiliser prices it's looking quite attractive to fallow things next year.
How do people get on growing Spring OSR? Has anyone had any recent experience with it?
Following end of August combined S.Barley and felt it was too late to drill WOSR, kicking myself because as it turned out we probably would have been fine with the open Autumn we have just had.
Heavyish land...

Well seeing as it’s new year and last years thread on this topic ram to 80 pages, thought it time to start a new one for this year’s harvest.

I have bed and breakfast cattle on a straw for muck deal which has worked well for years without major issues, however this year the cows and calves are being fed concentrate nuts mixed with whole barley and whole oats. Is this likely to result in a crop of barley and oats from the muck...
