Out checking wheats today. Although a mixed bag. There are some good bits. Sown Nov 24th following grain maize. Sown with Horizon Agricultural Machinery Ltd DSX.

Checking on the probes that were kindly funded by The Farmers Club Charitable Trust. Really interestingly to learn about how we impact our soils.

Too wet to farm……go glamping!!!!

55% maize drilled. Rightly or wrongly. Temps barely there…but forecast doesn’t look brilliant. And we need a harvest…🤞also growing for grain an early harvest has huge benefits. 🌽🌽🌽

Yellow rust appearing in our Extase. T1 shortly.

Finally wheels are turning. All systems go!! Rob Burtonshaw in to do some remedial work. Maize planting with companion crop. #SpringFinally

Incorporating manures and sheep grazed covers. Bentley Suffolks getting ready for grain maize. Fields consisting of the Very good, the Very bad and the Very Ugly.

Maize drilling has begun. Dodging the showers.

Apart from the weather. I think the one thing that annoys me most. Is closed roads that aren’t or do not need to be closed. 😡

Out getting N min samples for The NCS Project @BofinFarmers

Wheat that not made the cut getting the spring tine treatment. Trying to retain moisture but get a seed bed at the same time. One of them years …..and it’s only April. 🌽

Worry about whether there’s a future in farming……….this tells me there most certainly is!!! ❤️

Fields like this frustrate me the most. It’s taken til today to decide that I’m not taking this to harvest. Fresh start will be welcomed. This will now go for grain maize. Not ideal. But a sensible insurance policy. 🤞

Some dry weather at last. But still on the Rowtrac

Great to see this meetings with Dr Luke Evans MP have paid off. Please please please get involved with your local MPs…..who knows where it may lead. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧
