winter wheat

I have a crop of winter wheat that is to spray with Pacifica Plus but there is some poor patches in the crop that i was going to DD some spring barley into as it is just for home feeding. If i spray it now and plant barley in a couple of weeks will the Pacifica have any residual effect that will...

Hi everyone, new to the forum so let me know if this is the wrong place to post this. I've started working with a local farmer and we are planning on growing a trial crop of sunflowers down in Kent. We have 5 acres that we have dedicated to it this year. We want to know the specifications...

Anybody go? The Good, the Bad, the Ugly? Watching the first video on Youtube ground conditions looked testing with wet clay land and the soil pit actually filling with water overnight!! Interested to hear people who went thoughts? Cheers Alistair

Markets have been very sensitive to new news in recent weeks, with escalations in Ukraine providing underlying support. Increased sanctions on Russia from the West, coupled with poorer than expected US crop conditions have heightened supply concerns. In turn, this offered extra support to grain...

Yesterday, the USDA released their first crop progress report for 2022. Crop conditions failed to impress, falling below the lowest trade estimates. Just 30% of US winter wheat was rated in good-excellent condition. Last year, at the same point, 53% of the crop was good-excellent. We have to...

in light of recent input rises and lower spring cropping options im curious to know the difference people find in yield between SB and wheat on their farms and why? @Chae1 @chaffcutter @lexion780tt @Clive @Brisel @bobk @glasshouse @Jerry @Phil P @Adeptandy @holwellcourtfarm

Been to see a small arable farm (38.88ha cropable) in Dorset, the land has been farmed by a Tennant diary farmer who's been using the land for whole crop possibly back to back. The Winter wheat they have planted is showing signs of what look like Phosphorus deficiency, Would this be a long term...

With input price inflation high, is anybody considering suspending production for a year?

Evening all I thought it may be a good idea of a dedicated legume thread for the livestock men. Clovers being the most popular inclusion in a grazing mix. Place to share ideas and info on alternative legumes used in grazing systems. Establishment methods/grazing management etc

We are looking to move down the regen route, mob grazing and no till, we have around 300 acres of arable (decent ground thats been pretty much spring barley and winter wheat for years) that we are looking to direct drill after a cover crop next year, there is another part of the farm that when I...

Looking to dd clover or similar into wheat stubbles to be my overwinter covers, may add some cheap grass seed if there's any available to give variety. Will any establish fast enough to be useful? Or is it a waste of effort? I graze them normally too. Some will be terminated early march...

As per 2022 spraying season is being a bugger. :mad: With yellow rust in WW skyfall, windy conditions and frosts at night into next week (w/c 4/4/22) with showers a real problem next week, should I be putting a fungicide on if wind allows a window, or let mother nature with the frosts do the...

We have some quite bad ryegrass can you tell me what is the best practice ie autumn cultivations and then cultivations pre spring drilling . Fields are in arable rotation and we want to continue with this . Thanks

I drilled some spring barley into half a field where the reseed failed last year at the weekend. Now digging around it’s obvious the reseed failed due to wireworm as they are present in every hole I’ve dug. With a decent seed bed and decent soil temperature will it grow away from the little...

Excluding organic boys , could be interesting

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...

Lets say I grow winter wheat after beans and with no N at all it could yield 1.5t acre With 160 units of N it grows 4t acre Does that mean my N costs should be attributed to the extra 2.5 ton only? Lets say each unit is £1. Does it cost me £40 t in N to get my yield extra yield or does it...

Well I have had it with this now. Emails still aren't coming to me direct, so I am missing some fairly important ones I think. The amount of nonsensical rubbish coming out is overwhelming, there's nobody listening to us when we ask questions, utter shambles. The rewards do not add up at...
