The College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprises (CAFRE) has issued a crop management update, covering cereals and potatoes.
Crops specialist, Leigh McClean, said: “Frustratingly, spring weather has limited opportunities to get spray and...
Just wondered on the state of peoples farms, personally I strongly dislike a messy farm with junk and rubbish getting in the way but not everyone feels as strongly as me it seems unfortunately. Its improving but not its not as good as I would like. How about your farm?
I'd be grateful for the collective view.
I've got some reasonably clean dawsum that hasn't seen a sprayer yet:
Obviously some lower leaf septoria as normal, but otherwise clean.
Agronomist reckons 1.1 of Ascra, plus mag man and ccc etc. I'd be interested to know what others are doing in...
The label says 80 - 250 L/HA which is a huge range.

think this shows 2 things
1) they will make it as hard as possible (which we already know)
2) they are concerned about competition law 🤔
I am finding Gatekeeper so slow to load and carry out tasks that it is almost unusable nowadays. Does anyone else have this problem? My agronomist runs it and he finds the same.

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?

Have a small crop of potatoes which were a new variety released in Australia. Grown in spring they grew misshapen and had second growth.
Appears the variety isn't suited to the warm climate, and its a European variety.
Lost a few following 8 inches of rain a few weeks ago so not going to...
Unsurprisingly our winter wheat is struggling. It has poor root development and has being suffering from manganese deficiency which we don’t normally get. It’s had manganese and NPKS this spring all ready. T0 is approaching and was contemplating some phosphite in as well as PGR and trace...
