[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 7043084, member: 192"] The whole point of going independent is to save money. In our case it was £150/ha! But we still maintained yield and quality. The saving comes by not adding in all the snake oil rollocks they want to add into every tank as well as saving on chemical purchase costs. The point is your soil has a yield max and you can’t polish a turd. Throw in the weather which is the major deciding factor and the agronomist has very little input in the overall yield. At the end of the day you already know you are going to apply 1 or 2 herbicides and 1-3 fungicides. You don’t need insecticides and you definitely don’t need snake oils because you might as well go and pee on the crop whilst telling it how much you love it. Do this at nighttime whilst lining the stars up in some rose tinted glasses. [/QUOTE]
