@AtGardiner Well Andrew how do you think they're yielding. We have Vespa drilled 20th October still a week to 10 days away. Have to get osr and wheat finished first.

@tierney1981_t Tom did you check for leatherjackets we have the same problem with oats after winter barley where the regrowth was in the previous swaths. The crows are doing more harm than the leatherjackets

@bobbymiller73 @SeanKellyMEP @ciaranmullooly @CowenBarry @ninacarberry @lukeming @BillyKelleherEU @MariaWalshEU @ReginaDo @BarryAndrewsMEP @ClaireKerrane @LNBDublin @AgrilandIreland With blackgrass and more resistant weeds becoming a issue how is this going to play out. Then on the other hand gm maize is being imported into the country and mixed with our IGAS gold standard grain what a joke.

@bobbymiller73 @SeanKellyMEP @ciaranmullooly @CowenBarry @ninacarberry @lukeming @BillyKelleherEU @MariaWalshEU @ReginaDo @BarryAndrewsMEP @ClaireKerrane @LNBDublin @AgrilandIreland And now we have to contend with new glyphosate rules next year. No pre harvest glyphosate allowed on any crops even oilseed rape unless the farmer has a weed problem. Not doable with our Irish temperate climate. Max glyphosate rates reduced for stale seedbeds before planting.

Vf tyre technology and having the crop growing in the tramlines a real help in such a difficult spring. First pgr and trace elements going onto Tardis winter barley. @horschwhisperer @jo

Vespa winter beans going in at 210kg/ha. Demo Amazone Cayena doing a great job in heavy ground putting beans down nearly 5 inches. @John_Dunne_ @horschwhisperer

@PeadarWhyte @John_Dunne_ @horschwhisperer Ye got a run of the topdown at 5inches last week. Ground was like a rock last night

[Darragh Cleary @darscleary]

@garrettmalt Congratulations to you both hope everyone is keeping well.

Extraordinary insight into the stabbing of a little 5 year old girl in Dublin. Please listen to the end, it’s worth it.

[Feed Ingredients @multigrainua]

Our #barley harvest yeild almost 50% less than previous year. The #wheat is 40% less, due to lack of rain!

Big grain terminal in Mykolaiv is bombed. This is the biggest attack on WORLD FOOD SUPPLY by the Russians!

[Darragh Cleary @darscleary]

@Tim_Seedtech @seedtechnology @SyngentaCropsUK Tim whats the yield potential there considering you said in a previous post of Belfy with 56heads per 0.1m2 was 13t/ha. Looks to have savage potential

I've heard it repeatedly over the last few weeks...'Irish flour is no good for bread making'. Well that might suit the narative but its certainly not factually correct.

@GrowersGrain Pat Cleary on @rteliveline doing a superb job highlighting the demise of Irish tillage farming in recent years and now the sudden realisation of its importance to Ireland 👏👏👏 #foodsecurity #agriculturaldiversity @McConalogue

[Colm Burke TD @ColmBurkeTD]

Russian invasion of Ukraine will cause world shortage of grain over next 2 years. A very short timeframe available for @agriculture_ie to work with farmers and help increase the tillage acreage for the coming year @AgrilandIreland @farmersjournal

[Darragh Cleary @darscleary]

@mark1_ward No just duetts. I know they're higher disturbance but we get great establishment with them.

[Darragh Cleary @darscleary]

Spring drilling for 22 finished. Never saw land as dry in Dec and Jan before. Hexham spring wheat going in at 215kg/ha after a double break crop with crop residues chopped and incorporated, cover crop drilled in early Sep and gw compost applied yesterday.

@ArableSam Spring beans followed by spring oats. Ground was too wet that year to get in winter wheat.
