Useful reminder from @JamesMSouthgate @Prime_Ag06 talking at #AICC23 Industry Day, that agronomists @AICC1981 get access to huge amounts of independent information on key subjects such as wheat fungicides

[AICC-UK @AICC1981]

Great to hear @JamesMSouthgate @Prime_Ag06 talking at #AICC23 Industry Day about the passion that agronomists have when it comes to helping famers grow their crops, and why the support from @AICC1981 helps his hockey...

licence only held six months; today she decided to drive excess speed through J6/J7 roadworks, due care, undertaking. 98mph motorway in 70. No seat belt, bald tyre And no insurance. Don’t think she will have a licence long (90)

We have a vacancy for a full-time role as below which is a great opportunity for someone to broaden their experience.

Sugar beet going nicely at home today. Not going to break any yield records but with the forecast hopefully get some wheat in behind in nice conditions 🤞 @BritishSugar

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

Finally some nice conditions for lifting @BritishSugar beet. Few days on the harvester making a change from field walking, but annoying to spend the best days for 6 weeks in a cab - it seems to rain everyday I'm outside!

If anyone knows anyone involved please get in touch; we’d love to get a full witness account!

Wow that's quick. @JofraArcher has just made the ashes much more exciting. Hope @stevesmith49 is OK, as want to see more of Archer vs Smith this summer.

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

@jamin4284 With these conditions I bet its hard to tell the difference in establishment - although like the look of the Horsch from these pics.

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

@essexwindyfarm @FarmerAndyH Your windmills blowing it our way!

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

@essexwindyfarm @FarmerAndyH You were lucky as we had 8.5mm last night between 8-11, but they were just inland and missed the coast.

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

@Kingston22W @SyngentaCropsUK Appreciate your kind words Nigel

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

My time is up - I have left the @SyngentaCropsUK building. Its gone quick and had fun but also exciting times ahead

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

Hard at it correcting soil pH levels before the rain arrives later. #Farm24

[James Southgate @JamesMSouthgate]

@reglimagrain @SyngentaCropsUK Hi Ron, I'm going home to the family farm and joining Prime Agriculture as an independent Agronomist.
