Have a pure ryegrass or Timothy margin 2m wider than your X compliance / stewardship margins and scalp that - none of grandad cutting the corn all the way to the hedge along with goodness knows what else.
Under no circumstances allow a contractor baler on your farm unless you've personally cleaned it. Just dont. Buy your own if you must.
The sooner you can eliminate any potential targets to blame that belong to a third party then the sooner you take control and get the knapsack out / roguing gang in.
Straw for muck? Muck from horses? Forget about it.
Flufenacet is your friend. Use it. Use it again. Use different products to get around the "0.6 liberator is enough". Stacks of different chem? Forget it. You'll be surprised how much ffu your wheat will take. And how little shed space it takes compared to all that pdm.
If you put grass leys in, don't presume whoever buys it will go a perfect job. You need to be out with the topper on those bits where they've gone a bit wide, or the wheeling where it's been opened out and tramped down a bit.
My attitude to BG got much more serious when I realised it was *entirely my fault*.
