Best smell of the year
Someone said today that the best smell is freshly rolled cereals in the spring. My entry would be freshly spread rotten muck in the autumn or possibly freshly mown grass. Any other thoughts?- Pan mixer

I don't want to press on and find I have missed the chance to sell BNG credits on them in the future. I am struggling to find information on what value is put on new hedges...- theboytheboy

Min-till maize??
Heavy ground is ploughing up badly. Looks alot of work getting into a seedbed. I reckon I could get a better seedbed with cultivator/disc then power harrowing twice. Min-till maize a good idea. Usually would have Subsoiler but I image will only smear it- Zippy768

What % of spring crops not planted or destroyed?
Planted our spring oats 22 April, replacing the acreage of intended Winter Beans for which, sadly, there was never an appropriate window. But 80mm rain here in the 10 days since, including 32mmm last night, means that this field is now, yet again, very waterlogged - crop not yet emerging and... -

Michael Gove and the Conservatives did this.
Destroyed OSR as a reliable break crop in the U.K. while welcoming in imports grown using chemicals they banned here on the flimsiest of evidence for populist reasons. If that isn’t duplicitous then I don’t know what is. At the next election when I go into the polling station I’ll remember this.- DrWazzock
