[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7510784, member: 44728"] When my family left the Fens and moved to the North Suffolk Beccles series clays in the 70’s, my Fenland cousins couldn’t believe that our wheats outyielded theirs! Before those fungicides became popular, they would get 3t/acre and we would get 2t/ac. When they arrived, they also couldn’t believe how much spraying we did on cereals either. Mind you, their own sprayer had more important things to spray, than fungicides and Cycocel on wheat! However, we were also Dairy farmers rotating grassland round the farm and with lots of FYM to spread too. But, by the time we got to the early 80’s, we would be getting 3.5 - 4t/acre and they were still stuck on 3. Over here in the North Cotswolds (no brash though!) there is no doubt that the soils aren’t as fertile [USER=54866]@ollie989898[/USER] . But we do have Beef cattle FYM to use. There just doesn’t seem to be enough of it though. [/QUOTE]
