The crops and I would like some sunshine please! 🥔🌾🫛🥦🌱
Hard to see from the eye, but very impressed with the rooting results from applying 3l/ha of NHK Delta from @BionatureAgri. This was applied about 3 weeks ago when this Laureate spring barley was at 2 true leaves. Time will tell…
As aphid numbers increase rapidly #BBRO is investigating a range of novel IPM strategies to limit their build up and reduce virus yellows. Which colour will work best? @NFUSugar @BritishSugar
"Snipe's Snug" a tribute to my lovely old dog, combined with the Snipe we get a lot of in the cover crops over winter. Opening in June - if the damn grass seed will grow!
Thank you and well done @afgroupuk fuels team. Proactive phone call to say that our diesel tank was 70% empty (Tank Scout), fuel price had dropped and would we like it filled. Keeping us going. Saving us money. Smart work. Thank you AF. 👍🏼⛽️📉
Finding the @yara N tester especially useful this year to calibrate VRA maps on yield potential in my very variable wheat crops. Tricky bit is gauging the yield potential in the first place mind!
We got there in the end…. Sugar beet harvest done! Sugars are surprisingly good still. Top job Richard Ivatt and team on a very challenging campaign. @BritishSugar
Fendt 728 and Horsch leeb applying T0 on Buccaneer winter barley. Also managed to get the OSR sprayed and T0 on the Extase WW. Dawsum WW about 7 days away from being ready. Shame about the forecast, still got 60 acres of beet to lift and 1/3rd of the farm to be spring drilled..
