@Papajim1967 We’ve been using a 10m hoe in cereals on 25cm spacing. It works quite well, but you need to get it set up correctly or you can do a lot of damage in a short distance!
Let’s be clear 💧
Another water sample exceeds water quality targets
Our regular, rigorous monitoring of our precious Wensum proving our land management safeguards river health
Disproves algorithm models on who is responsible for pollution!
@louisearable@russbmckenzie@CropTecShow Simple answer is more! With our system I’m able to maintain average yields whilst reducing our production costs across the board. Zerotill / Striptill, no insecticide, reduced herbicides/fungicides and less reliance on fert due to our own FYM/composts all play a massive part
Some more field impressions of our first real planting trials.
The Robo works well, it is autonomously planting, turning at the head lands etc…
All goes rather well. Thanks to the team behind it that got it going in such a short time!
@farminginfife We tried this last July, spun a cover crop into some Wheat pre harvest with all the best intentions but it was a disaster and we will stick to direct drilling it close behind the combine in future. The seed/soil contact is fundamental to getting it up and away successfully.
@HORSCHUK you have made a cracker of a drill... deep loosening and drilling in one pass... time to sell the redundant cultivators and tractors #striptill#focus
@farmernickt@HORSCHUK@AGCOcorp The Tines on the Focus will do all the busting we need for now. Any further remedial work can wait till after the Wheat is harvested.
From Beet to Wheat using the @HORSCHUK Focus close behind the harvester. Not going to win Norfolk’s best seeded competition, but it’s in! Had to draught in the big cat for added traction #catpower @AGCOcorp
We moved from a 5” @DutchOpeners down to a 3” this autumn so we could inter row hoe, shows how even a 3” disturbs too much soil for blackgrass. @driverfarms1 what width are you using on your @HORSCHUK sprinter?
@kissthegroundoc is a must watch!could this prove to be an epic tool in bringing the consumer and farmer closer together for a common goal? agriculture’s on the cusp of an exciting change,I feel proud to have changed our farming system to #regenerativeagriculture@Wensumfarmers
