No till winter barley on hanslope clay. These fields Havnt been moved more than an inch for 5 years
ElectrumWhat variety is it?
180kg ish can’t remember m2 without checking. May be abit high.what seed rate was it?
Looks very thick down the rows?
What was the previous crop? Drilled with the Avatar? Was it a stale seedbed? Sorry for bombarding the questions180kg ish can’t remember m2 without checking. May be abit high.
Spring barley, sprinter. Straight into stubble.What was the previous crop? Drilled with the Avatar? Was it a stale seedbed? Sorry for bombarding the questions

Roy, I have seen sorghum grown in a big way in the USA, but whatever is the grain used for?
Some wheat late direct disc drilled after spring barley quite poor on a new farm to me (only started a couple weeks ago) but it has perked up remarkably after getting nitrogen on as soon as we could.That's impressive. You can see every heavy land crop round here after spring barley. They look gash. And fields of wheat where part was barley and part wheat the year before - the previously barley looks double gash.

situations like this, cereals crops after spring barley a small amount of nitrogen down the spout is most definitely legally justifiable IMO
Especially with direct drilling. More N gets into the water through lots of cults and mineralisation the putting a small amount down with seed in a zero till situation.I'll throw my autumn nitrogen hat in the ring and say chopped oat or barley straw wants a visit from Mr liquid N and his mate Mr flat fans in any situation. It's not going to leach or get in the water or anything.
You didn’t have enough on there2nd year silage grass after three months of sheep.
Not that I’ve seen. Ahdb did one and didn’t find a yield difference. It’s not something I think needs doing regularly but in extreme weather forced situations where many have been forced to crop winter cereals after spring barley I think it’s worthwhile. No different to chucking on chicken litter.Have NIAB done any trials with autumn N either zero till or conventional
You didn’t have enough on there
How many to the ac
I thoughtbit was a dog ,had to look twiceNothing wrong with that.
Does the beetle not like being further north??
