Trading as MW Farming, rent and contract farm in Shropshire and Staffordshire. Started my own arable farming enterprise in 2016. Views are my own.

I’m going bigger! So selling my 2020 4m Mzuri. Grain and fert, select version (33cm or 66cm rows), ISOBUS, section control, discs to go on in front of the front legs. Looking for £59k. Any questions welcome.

@RichardReams4 I’ve owned the machine since May 2017. Been serviced every year by Morris Corfields. Twin rape knife and John Deere ATU steering on it that can be removed if not needed. Only reason for sale is I’ve just bought a 770.

Selling my 2012 Claas Lexion 750 TT with 30ft header. Been serviced and maintained by Morris Corfield Claas dealer from new. Moving to a larger machine. Looking for £129k. DM me for more info. Many thanks

@RichardReams4 @MzuriDrills So it yielded 10.13t/ha over the weighbridge with an average mc of 14.2%. We’ve planted OSR between the wheat stubble rows this year. Started strip till 3 years ago and we’ve dropped 4L/ha in fuel to establish the crop already.

Extase drilled into a 13 year old turf with the @MzuriDrills on 33cm single opener spacing 👌🏻

@EdCTBrown @Charles94920475 We’ve noticed the difference in our soils since moving to the Mzuri. Works easier and a lot more tilth.

Yesterday we stopped combining due to the grain temperature coming in at 32 degrees. Started again at 7pm last night and still cutting 7am this morning. Grain temp dropped to 16 degrees through the night and the combines could breath easy

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

@EdCTBrown There wouldn’t be many farms that could do 9.67t/ha with no N? That would be a long term aim?

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

Does anyone know of or have a chaser bin for hire? Just thinking if harvest is finished for some they may have a machine sat idle. Many thanks

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

@jonohector2803 Just the back doors I think

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

Added a curtainsider to the lineup. We’ve purchased this as we’ve gained some harvest and winter work for it but always looking for work. Also means we won’t be waiting on seed like last year, just pop and collect it ourselves 🚛💨

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

@RossLead It’ll be another one of those farmers who can’t make ends meet! Who runs around with a £500 fert spreader and moans the product they put in costs too much 🙄

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

@Advice_GrainUK @LeedhamAlan @Churchfarmkav @Markmid1 @james65davies @atkinrob @Ditch_83 @ForsythHugh @weirendfarm @woodboroughpark Just done it 👍🏻

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

@roey1701 We’ve done the same today. Full spring clean of the house nearly complete

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

Look at the length of that root 😳This was planted on very light land where we will have spring oats following sheep that’ll graze the cover crop. Struggled on this farm with soil erosion but not since we’ve drilled it with the Mzuri and cover cropping.

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

@nollydavies @bentd76 I poked my head into the wheat blends yesterday and they look really well. Very excited about them. One to ask Harry about

[Matthew Williams @mwilliams0187]

@GJ_Hamer Definitely should be using Xero Hamish. Very easy to use!
