You're right, however this particular field has never been touched as it's less than an acre, we have another thousand that will perform the same and is rotationally cultivated.
I keep saying this but it's mixed farming, I'm confident with the treatment nearly any soil will perform like this in 5yrs.
Those doing this in an annual cropping scenario have much more of a challenge.
Look at the decline in efficacy of the major fungicides in the last 5 yrs, remove ctl as a partner and another 3 yrs will mean expensive or cheap fungicides won't do too much.
There's no doubt 70 quid a ha over the hedge is an easy and cheap insurance policy and will certainly pay, the question is where is the middle ground which is sustainable going forward.
