As part of our plans to increase seed production, Daltons Seeds are looking for good growers to plant winter barley for seed.
Good premiums paid for the resulting crop.
For more information, please contact Ben Easthope or Peter Fox on 01733 221798 to discuss your options.
"Hybrid rye not only yields far beyond conventional rye, but new trials show it can deliver high yields at very low N inputs and there are many other increasingly important advantages too", says KWS Hybrid Rye Product Manager, Dominic Spurrier.

Last few bags of Pinnacle available immediately. Also working Saturdays as always. Highest yielding conventional OSR in trials to date, again!! #OSR#Pinnacle#servingagriculture
@Adrian__Baker 2/2 The bags are designed to lift up to 6 times the weight that is normally put in them but that doesn't mean that they wont suddenly break if filled twice and lifted multiple times. Think of the man beneath the bag filling the drill.
Concerned! Received flyer from mobile seed cleaning business, encouraging the use of old bags! They advocate checking the bags but bags supplied by the certified industry are classed as "one trip" only. i.e. Not safe to be reused! Remember the concerns farmers had in 2020 1/3
@Adrian__Baker Sarah is correct that we now use bags with a greater content of recycled material but i don't think they are any weaker. As i said you can buy multi trip bags but the industry uses a bag that is designed to be filled once only. The filling and stretching weakens the bag.. 1/2
You can get multi trip bags but they are not common. I am not against FSS, we process it too, but I am against putting farm workers at risk of serious injury or worse. Is it worth saving <£10/t to risk a life? @NFUtweets#servingagriculture@agindustriesUK@TheNAAC 3/3.
In 2020 when growers had seed on farm for 12 months before drilling it, there was huge concern about the condition of bags. Reusing old bags is worse, they have been stretched in there first use and do not return to their original strength. 2/3
We haven't been shouting about Pinnacle yet, we have so little available this year, set to become the highest yielding conventional variety on the next AHDB list. First come first served, ready now. #servingagriculture#pinnacle#bigseedrape#OSR#breakcrops
🌾Here @DaltonSeeds we have just finished processing Pi Pinnacle 🇬🇧, proudly bred in Britain by Mike Pickford. 📋 Limited availability this year, so don't miss out - secure yours now! #OSR#Agriculture#Farming#PiPinnacle
If looking at growing pulses this year, marrowfat peas should be a serious consideration. With very high premiums available, there is opportunity to grow Sakura which is the most popular variety in the market. Contact your Saxon representative for seed and 2024 buyback options.
New @LSPBLtd spring pea Concerto looking very promising considering the weather and being drilled on the 17 of may. Grown for @DaltonSeeds let’s hope we get some rain 🙏
A beautiful sample of Orchestra peas from @LSPBLtd going over the weighbridge this afternoon.
This high yielding yellow (white) pea will be going on farm next week to some ha-pea customers.
