got someone wanting to do a trail on just under an acre for black grass , what do folk expect to gain in return?
+1Whenever we've done trials we've always harvested whatever crop is remaining to sell, although in your case you won't want to be harvesting anything with BG in it and then we invoice the trial company for the average yield for that field and crop at the market price we sell at. All very fair as long as the the trial does not cause to much disruption.
In your case if your going to allow BG to grow then it must be removed long before seed fall.
+1, they may not be able to tell you what all the products are, but they can possibly tell you how some of the commonly available products or tank-mixes/sequences have performedI've had some here for 3 years, if they are using new unregistered products then you won't be able to keep the harvested grain for sale...
I get compensated based on the foregone yield
It is a very useful experience as has been said before, it's a great chance to see which residuals work best for you and a chance to pick various people's brains!!
