We try our hardest to look after the crops we grow but sometimes we get tripped up. Loads of great #onions left here for #gleaning but too many suffered from the extreme 40+ degree heat meaning we can’t store or sell them. Please come & help yourselves #backbritishfarmers

Clearly the Bank Holiday weekend didn’t stop the aphids from flying! Numbers now increasing rapidly in BBRO water traps in East Anglia. Monitor crops carefully for green wingless aphids and treat if above the threshold. ⁦@NFUSugar⁩ ⁦@BritishSugar⁩

For @TarffValley (serving South #Scotland, Northern #England & Ayrshire) our Paige Waters procured large proportion of their spring requirements with good terms & pricing. Paige also got them #glyphosate despite global #shortage.

Interesting first day at @CropTecShow catching up with Fertiliser, Seed & Crop Protection producers/suppliers. Topical discussions regarding spring 2022 supply.

[AF (The AF Group) @afgroupuk]

There's still time to take advantage of the #metaldehyde #amnesty we are running with @AnglianWater and #CROPCO. If you farm in these #river #catchments have stocks of this #product you can make a switch for free for #alternative #slug #control.

[AF (The AF Group) @afgroupuk]

With @AnglianWater & CropCo we're helping the #pesticide #amnesty on #slug pellet active, #Metaldehyde, to be revoked next March.
Growers in Norfolk's Wensum or Wissey river catchments can get remaining stocks taken away & replaced with ferric phosphate.
