@russbmckenzie It was only one phone call, the other was the alarm to ring my dad who is nearly 100, blind but still living independently - legend. Hands up to the second one. I'm just a f*** wit

The benefit of low vicine and convicine (LVC) is clear to see. With many breeders aimong at bringing the trait into their breeding programmes why not be ahead of the game?
@LSPBLtd already have the variety Victus which has a good yield (103), early (7) and great standing (8).

We know the main concern with growing OSR is round establishment ever since the loss of neonicitinoids.

In the video, our OSR Consultant Julie Goult dives into the benefits of our popular variety Campus and what we recommend to help establish your crop.

@hill_johnhill6 Good question. Mr Gove has said that one of the benefits of Brexit will be inefficient farmers going out of the industry!

[Alan Hendry @samscarf23]

@Cefetra Thanks John, on the ball as ever.

Not too many CSFB in East Anglia yet! Get drilling, you know it makes sense! #OSR #FARMING #agriculture #harvest2020 @LGSeedsUK @KWSUKLtd @CortevaUK @Bayer4CropsUK @DSVUKSEEDS

[Emily Pope @emilypope_KE]

We are starting to find CSFB in our traps located in fields at GS10/11 and also in fields that have not been drilled yet. However CSFB have not been found at all sites.

@HaydockC @Smallcarguy @OSleisure @OrdnanceSurvey Funny you should say that but I couldn't use it Sunday but eventually after logging in a couple of times, all is restored including my routes.

[British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) @_seedinnovation]

The law excludes hybrid varieties from the list of crops allowed to be farm saved and to do so risks yield, disease resistance and quality. Why would you risk it?

[British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) @_seedinnovation]

As harvest gets well underway and drilling of Oilseed Rape begins, remember that it is illegal to buy or be given seed from a another farmer. Home saved seed used needs to be declared and paid.
