First bit of yellow rust ive spotted up here this season, in late drilled Skyscraper. Unlike Septoria, later drilled wheat crops are more susceptible to yellow rust.

@SteadyDave1 Worth looking but unfortunately most of the Vale of York/Vale of Mowbray not high priority areas.

[David Stead @SteadyDave1]

Plenty of areas within Yorkshire covered by the priority map

Worried about food inflation, buy Potatoes 🥔 cheaper than last year!!

[Louis Williams @Louis_WAg]

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks to all the local farms for joining us to find out a little about SFI and muck management on grassland.

[David Stead @SteadyDave1]

Brilliant evening last night @wensleydalerufc discussing SFI, Omnia, Legumes in Ruminant rations & Manure spreading legislation. Great to collaborate with I’ansons to deliver combined value to our mixed farming clients.

[Louis Williams @Louis_WAg]

@SteadyDave1 Oh dear. No thanks, you can hold on to those!

Middle window wheats now coming up. Here Graham following grass went in 10/10. Reports of Frit Fly damage being severe, but fortunately haven’t come across any badly damaged crops yet. #NorthYorkshire #farming.

Nice bit of rain and early drilled Graham is heading for the sky. 🌾🌦 #yorkshirefarming #agronomy

@Nick_Wilson3 @HLHNorthernTeam Well done Nick! Well earned rest.

[Louis Williams @Louis_WAg]

@dkbcrop @omniauk Already feeling like a long time ago, with rape drilling started last week!

[Louis Williams @Louis_WAg]

A couple of friendlies for the farm. Don’t mistake ladybird larvae (left) or hoverfly pupae (right) for pests!

[Louis Williams @Louis_WAg]

Far and away the greatest varietal differences of any trial I have visited this year - worth a look if you’re in the area.

[DKB Crop Protection @dkbcrop]

2nd day of our variety trials at Low Walworth Farm. Great interest yesterday in the untreated plots and #utrisha-n trials. 🌾 Get your questions ready for representatives of @Bayer4CropsUK , @AdamaUK_, @CortevaForage, @certis_belchim…

[DKB Crop Protection @dkbcrop]

Today’s the day! Come down and see our largest ever selection of wheats and barleys today and tomorrow. Untreateds showing huge differences in disease levels. 🌾 Also a chance to get moisture meters calibrated before harvest 2022 and see machinery from our local dealers. 🚜
