    Management of AB15 legume fallows

    I have some which are well over knee high, and thick with grasses. Others are shorter but thick with flowering crimson clover. What are people doing about management in these scenarios? There's plenty of flowering blackgrass in some, docks in others etc. Grazing or taking a cut would...

    What is everyone thinking on this? I have winter triticale for AD being foraged in June, so was always planning to do a summer cover crop with legumes infront of the following wheat.

    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...

    I have a parcel of land that was down as PG01 permanent pasture in my 2023 BPS, it needs re sowing and I thought about putting it into AHL1 pollen and nectar mix . If I keep the land use code as PG01 it doesn’t give me the AHL1 option in the land uses section of the SFI scheme, but if I change...

    Spring Sown NUM3 mixes for Blackgrass Land

    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.
