Wheat at our Helix Cornwall site moving on nicely. Miravis planned for T2, 5 clean leaves. Catchy weather and a strong crop it’s a false economy to cut back now 🌾💪🏼

Bamford and Mayflower looking to have some potential heading into T2 this weekend 👌🌾

@BenAdamsAgri @anthonybecvar That’s the joys of trials! 🤣

Bit of a different day today after going to see a customer, to be told he’s in hospital because of his mental health. The brilliant @RABIcharity are on farm already helping. Unfortunately sums up the pressures on farm currently!

Say no more when mothballed factories are starting up again……

🇧🇷 A Petrobras retomou a produção de fertilizantes nitrogenados em sua planta da FAFEN, na Refinaria Presidente Getúlio Vargas (Repar), em Araucária, Paraná. A unidade havia sido fechada em 2020, mas agora, em 30 de abril de 2026, voltou a produzir ureia e amônia.

@jimclark67crop First lot went in after oat cover crop almost 4 weeks ago and looks a picture!

[James Whatty @JamesWhatty]

First of the conventional maize going in this week, could do with some rain in places already! 😅

[James Whatty @JamesWhatty]

Wheat T1 imminent and OSR looking a picture, crops moving quickly now!

[James Whatty @JamesWhatty]

Maize drilling starts next week 🌽 🚜

[James Whatty @JamesWhatty]

Nothing beats it 👌🌾

[James Whatty @JamesWhatty]

First 15 out enjoying last years re-seeds. Dragging the farm into productivity….. two years into our tenancy and half the farm re-seeded, enough to make you sweat 😅🚜 💸

@RBoldan @RTKfarmer This was 7 days ago in tropical Cornwall

[James Whatty @JamesWhatty]

Helix Cornwall crops looking a picture. Wheat has received 40m2 of slurry to save a bit of bagged stuff this year. Barley had its final dose of N today for the season…… Ongoing Messium and N trials over a large scale among many planned this year. Always learning!

[James Whatty @JamesWhatty]

Rather glad this OSR had a pgr 10 days ago…. Labrador growth stage 1.5
