So, things have changed a little, organic is the old school, flat cap wearing, tweed kinda feel. Regenerative is the new kid on the block, rather edgy, slick style but promising a down to earth feel. So in the marketing eyes of the British Retail Consortium who are they going to run with? Who...

worst I've seen here for years, reckon the rain made autumn sprays short lived and broadway star seems to have done very little this spring
Rye grass and not blackgrass thankfully, but 2024 is certainly not a year where its easy to take a lot of pride in a farm

Not knocking confinement systems, but can this system really be regenerative?
I believe that...

So, planted 30 odd ha of Ab15 last autumn, about half has established well, while the remainder is poor and patchy. I’ve a mind to just go with the poor bits, and mow in accordance with the rules, and hope for the best. Have the seed invoices and records of drilling etc. Anyone else in/ been in...
Hi,

Only doing cereals for now, so crop rotation is wheat, oats and barley. Tillage is done with a Carrier, and drilling with a Rapid. pH is from 5.9 -> 6.5 on all...
