Sheep profits??

[Yale]

I’d be happy if these generous sheep profits allowed buyers to pay over £200 for the yearling ewes I will have to sell in the breeding sales.

.......this time next year Rodney......

Me thinks it’s the best time to sell the sheep !!

Organic here, PH’s are rising and P+K’s are now touching 4’s

how does being organic raise your lime and p and ks if you dont mind me asking?

because fert lowers them

Very little taken off over 20 years, no nitrogen going on to lower PH, grass is all either grazed and if it does get to long is topped. Bare minimum of silage is made, usually 3-4 bale/acre crops not 8-10’s so a far greater area is mown reducing take off levels.

I worked on an arable only farm 7 mile away for years and 5-5.4ph was the norm, I never saw above 5.8ph there. even with 2.5t/acre every 4 years of lime going on, but so much nitrogen going on meant the PH never rose much.

this was a broad spectrum test result done on a problematic field. It has had a fair bit of grain/straw removed over the last few years hence the low K I’m guessing?
