I am also a child from a rural area in China, and I used to be very poor. I had very little land to cultivate. Our family of four had only 7,175 feet of land. Very little. We farmers were forced to go out to work to barely make ends meet. I would like to know how much arable land you farmers in...

I've got some mental stoney ground to cultivate with a trio that chips the tungsten for fun. I'm thinking of having a dedicated set of legs with the cheapest feet/wearing metal I can get. Shakerator feet came to mind, if I convert some scrap legs I've got I could use them when going there...

Frost on the ground in parts this morning and we have 45 acres of maize going in today. I'll let you know in a fortnight wether it was the right call. Hope to get a photo up later.

Several fields of hybrid rye where the crop has only really survived on top of drains. Maybe 20% of field areas actually growing, so no point patching. No spring fert or autumn herbicide at all. What to do? Ground/soil is sadder than I’ve ever known it, and we’ve had some sad springs. Possible...

What mixes are people considering for a six month NUM3 on blackgrass clay land that doesn’t result in a huge biomass problem at the end of August? Looking to drill wheat after with a tine drill - don’t have a disc option. Happy to cultivate as not planning on DD.

Just wondering if there's any further information out yet as to what constitutes no till in the eyes of SFI? Is it a dts/mzuri/claydon direct into stubble? Or is it going to be lower disturbance tine or disc? Supposedly a claydon grain and fert meets the grant spec with the leading tine applying...

I farm heavy silty clay with flints. No ditches, no land drains. Good strong wheat land, if unforgiving. I've been trying to grow cover crops on and off for the last 9 yrs. With one exception, they have all been disastrous. Summer cover crops in place of a spring crop, on the other hand, can...

Anyone hazard a guess ? May isn't off the table

So historically spring barley is direct drilled here into a cover crop established with a cultivator in the autumn and sprayed off late February. Records show our best yields come from a crop planted late February early March with later planted crops suffering in both reduced yield and higher N...

Why not? We all seem to have them and with all the current new "farmer subsidies" such as SFI in England & SFS in Wales, I have come up with a doozy that may well apply to all you boys piling in to SFI herbal leys and flower meadows etc And it is this: Once you have signed off & planted your...
