Plenty of fusarium in spring barley heads and I'd say now. Should.have done a second fungicide
The little shed being built at the moment is for a bit of machinery storage and lawnmower, logs, gator, dogs, cars etc that don't really have a place at our stores

Yeah but you write for the farmers weekly and so will definitely get good yields! By the way how is the all spring drilling philosophy going, are you happy with it?

I missed a small section in 1 field with our second fungicide just to see if there was any difference it's now riddled with disease and the rest is holding out for now

Just watching video of hail storms in Suffolk. Do hope farms over there haven't suffered too bad.
You are entirely correct Will, by being on the payroll of the only yellow weekly farming editorial does immediately elevate me to the top 5% of producers; just look a the esteemed company I keep in the journalistic world!!
The Spring drilling is going well. We didn't have a wet spring, but it never dried either but it all got drilled bar 2 small fields I kept back for drainage and experiments. My problem now is I can't see myself getting back into winter cropping on the majority of the farm as I am still getting a degree of bg seed return which is disappointing. That said looking at the fusarium about I am pleased not to have a farm full of wheat.
I demoed some disc drills last autumn and was a little disappointed. If I plan on growing much wheat I need a closer row spacing but the seedhawk is going well otherwise.

I thought you didn't like Revelation?
Is the Planet earlier maturing than Propino?
