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
Is it just me or are others...
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. There is now talk of SFI payments for this scenario which is another bonus.
My initial thoughts were something...

Wet weather conditions in north-west Europe, especially Ireland and parts of the UK, negatively affected the yield potential of crops and hampered sowing, according to the latest Crop Monitoring in Europe report from JRC MARS (Monitoring Agricultural...

We’ve always grown s barley for wholecrop, but last year‘s efforts were horrendous. Sodding wet spring (after dusty Feb/March), followed on by many weeks of no rain. Barley got sown late, established then gasped for water. None of it managed to get over 12 inches high.
This year’s heading the...
What would Wolverine or Librax same chem one or the other with Elatus Era say 1 litre of each plus pgr, Clormaquat and some Trinaxapac Ethyl for aT1 application?
As a distraction to the soggy non existent spring drilling programme, I'm looking ahead to the autumn and want to reduce my spring cropping area, currently about 1/3 of the farm thanks to blackgrass. Winter barley for feed isn't really any good for blackgrass control in terms of herbicide...
Best spray day we've had for weeks.
Best spray day we've got forecast for weeks.
Bloody alternator sh!t itself on the Bateman.
No electrics, no spraying, apparently when the battery gets low enough the engine stops, then the emergency brake applies, even if you're driving down the road!
Ho hum.
Looking at AB10’as an option under mid tier at £1072 ha it’s an interesting option. Continuous Spring cereals which you never harvest.
Just wanted to know of anyone who could tell me the pit falls?
Last few years I have used whole barley with a protein pellet for lambs in creep feeders and its worked well. Far cheaper than bought in pellets.
This year I have kept back my usual bit of barley to use but I also have a few tonne of wheat that never went at harvest. Thinking about adding that...
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...
like the title says is axial hard on winter barley? wondering if it slows it down or causes phyto like dff

This year the straw I’ve been supplied is chopped, how this straw compares as bedding to non chopped:
Negative:
1. Cattle are mucky after 24hrs, to keep them in the same condition as non chopped straw would need double the round bales.
2. It’s probably due to to a wetter year and how the wind...
A biggish fat lamb (50kg?) is worth £160. (the same as a ton of barley)
A small fat beast (500kg) is worth £1600. (the same as 10 tons of barley).
Has the value of finished stock compared to the price of grain ever been a high during the last 10,000 years?
Chatting with my agronomist this morning and he was telling me how some FBT agreements, down in more arable areas, had clauses in them requiring the land to be soil tested at the beginning and end of the term with a full spectrum analysis, with a charge to put right any degradation.
