Bit of a change here. Our stockman of 14 years is moving to pastures new. He will be sorely missed but it does mean we have an opportunity here for someone. Details 👇 facebook.com/share/p/14vW4W…

The Moore Unidrill at work, direct drilling into an existing sward to fully renovate it; no ploughing needed. Preparation is key: knife aerate 10–14 days ahead to get air and microbial life back into the #soil. Then harrow in both directions before drilling at right angles.

Join me on Tuesday 24 June at Breckenborough for the Sustainable Landscapes Topcliffe Group Farm Walk.

After the extraordinary planning and successful execution of the drone attack on RU strategic bomber fleet, and now the damage to the Kerch bridge there are going to be a masses of RU military and security personnel that are going to take ‘flying lessons’ from windows!! Shame

Yep. It’s going to be a Stalinesk bloodbath of security & military personnel. I can just hear all the blame and ‘arse covering’ trying to survive in the Kremlin Curious that the TACO is quiet 🤔 Maybe he hasn’t been told. Who “holds the cards” now 😂😃

Join me on a farm walk exploring the benefits of cocksfoot in diverse leys, resilient pastures and the latest on-farm research. It's taking place at High Crookleith Farm in the North York Moors National Park on Monday 16 June from 10:30am to 3pm. eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-role-of-…

Just love this ‘game of cards’ I wonder if DJT realises who holds them now?! Ukraine apparently hid drones in a grain railway truck, and used them to destroy military equipment on the train. Op Spider Web2 😃 Amazing evolution

Still looking for farmers who do any RegenAg practices to help with workshop on RegenAg finances 26th June @ UoLeeds farm 11-4pm. £250 for participating!

Heading to Australia next month to visit agroecologist Will Elrick. Keen to see trials using waste wool to improve soil health & moisture retention, plus Carpathian clover with rhizomes to stabilise it all. Fascinating stuff. More soon...

After a dry start to spring, many grassweeds didn’t absorb herbicides as expected. Most graminicides couldn’t fully translocate within the plant, the dry, stressed conditions reduced uptake and movement inside the weed. Your cultivation strategy must match the brome species...

We’ve started a new project with Ricardo plc and The Andersons Centre! We’re looking for 40 Midlands farmers ready to future-proof their businesses with fully-funded 1:1 advice, tailored workshops, networking and training. Applications open now - ricardo.com/en/news-and-in…

More rain so far this month than last six months combined. Should start to rehydrate the soil organic matter - 1% holds 85,000L/ha, and plants used all that. Hopefully nobody sprayed Proclus in last few days!! 😖

Kerb, the Agronomists annoying love child since the 1970’s!! Great when it works, but annoyingly fickle. Previous crop on the left of the line was Beans drilled and sprayed 28th October. Brilliant control result when compared to the grass in the right that is now a 2WW

We have a couple of places left on our BASIS Arable Course, running at Riseholme, near Lincoln. The course starts in December and ends in late June. Direct message for more details. Chris Tolley

🌱🐄 Yorkshire farmer Richard Barker opens his gates on Tues 2nd Dec for From Field to Feed - showcasing beans as sustainable livestock feed. It's free to attend, but booking is essential > tinyurl.com/NCSOpenDay

Horse-hay drilled in early Oct into an ideal seedbed (soil 10.2 °C). Emergence good. Mix matched to our soil & the horses’ digestion: meadow/sheep’s fescue, timothy, creeping species for sward stability, plus cocksfoot. No artificial N: just seaweed and zinc.

There’s still time to get tickets for our non-chemical bracken control webinar ⏲️ Join us on 19th November to explore the topic – including info on our new Bracken Management Learning Network. 🌿 innovativefarmers.org/events/non-che…

Trumps just been shot but here’s the Secret Service guiding photographers around ignoring danger to get the famous photo while the crane operator lowers the flag into position ignoring the danger. Staged event
