@RTKfarmer Their cousins say hello!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@cutlerstom @Johnkempf Tom, do you know of any UK farmers that regularly see positive spring crop effects after OWCC?

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@RTKfarmer I saw some of their cousins yesterday by the roadside, much happier at 25 degrees celsius and 33 degrees south!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@anthonybecvar Hi Anthony, what type of comb weeder are you using? Looks like you’re getting impressive results.

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@Matt3ngland Yes they are beeches, the effects probably made much worse by our 22mm of rain since 1/3!
To be fair, it doesn’t take much to beat our 2nd spring wheats, drilled with a claydon, there is almost more soil showing than crop at the moment.

@agricontract @BBCNews @JeremyClarkson Should farmers be set stocked or mob grazed at 3-4 per m^2?

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@DanPBrown Brilliant interview, well done

[Angus Gowthorpe @angusgowthorpe]

An excellent letter by Sir James Dyson. Well worth reading, many valid points, and we in our ‘farming’ bubble need to remember that it’s all businesses that IHT applies too, & is equally unaffordable to many of them.

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@GirlingKeith Exactly, now I’m blowing off a bit of steam!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

No need for the gym when you have an old fashioned grainstore!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@charlespaynter @cutlerstom We should start growing rice!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@charlespaynter Snap! Although yours looks a little neater than mine!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

What a beautiful day to finish harvesting @wildfarmed spring wheat and beans!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@bencm305 @wildfarmed Yes, I just hope it makes 11% protein!
Interestingly, the wheat and beans in the next door field looks like it yielded a bit less. I’ll dress it today and find out.

Combining spring wheat for @wildfarmed with a clover understory
Harvest 24 is almost finished….

[David @DavidRDHutton]

Wildfarmed wheat and beans from the air @wildfarmed

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@FarmerBarney 50kg/ha. I mixed the wheat and beans in a trailer then they were drilled in one go with a Claydon

[David @DavidRDHutton]

Wildfarmed spring wheat looking great in the sunshine. I hope there is enough wheat amongst the beans!

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@FarmerBarney A blend of Mulika, Nissaba & Tybalt. Drilled at 200kg/ha, but I think I could have increased the rate.

[David @DavidRDHutton]

@FarmerBarney Yes, that’s what it looks like, presumably weather related? These were drilled at the beginning of April.
