Fodder beet recovering nicely , some good bulking the last few weeks after a fungicide and bacterial N. Plenty of disease pressure about with the showers
Our Angus stirks at home grazing new seeds 4 weeks post drilling . Pretty pleased with the growth for min till establishment, any moisture kept made a huge difference 👌
Wheat ground almost ready, some good use of VR lime going to be applied next week @omniauk
Maize trials done and dusted this year. DAP vs Microgranule last to cut, whole agronomy service sheeting up the clamp too 😅🌽
A snapshot of our @HutchinsonsAgUK Helix maize variety trials this year….
It will be even more important to get varieties correct next year after this years challenging growing year!
The media is slowly waking up to the reality of weather and war !
Does a country’s ability to produce bread and wheat determine its success on the global stage?
Sky’s @EdConwaySky explores how the humble loaf of bread could have helped America win the Cold War, and why wheat production is so important today.

Grass planned to be planted next week once this maize is cut. Cobs not fit, plant ripening bottom up. Maybe time for a cut of grass before winter….. 👀 #fastgrass #dairy
Herbal ley the only bit of green left on the farm! Our older stirks are going to market 3 months early! Makes for a challenging business plan! #drought
This morning I have found the ultimate min till machine 🤣 #wellandsteamfair
Even in the land of milk and honey…. It’s not a good year to plant maize late! Wheat being cut and no grass left… #ElNiño
Packing up from last weeks trials….. I’ve a feeling we may get quite the response to the trial work this year. Septoria and rust a plenty! 🤣
Brilliant day for our @HutchinsonsAgUK Helix Cornwall event. The only south west trials this side of Exeter ! Important to see the crops before making this autumns variety decision….. 🌾
