If you're growing beans this year, Bean YEN is open now to any growers hoping to understand and improve their pulse crop performance - yen.adas.co.uk/projects/bean-…

Find out about our Yorkshire Crop Nutrition Club ADOPT project here linkedin.com/posts/drkindre…
Testing a range of approaches and technologies for better crop nutrition decisions

And thank you to @BASFcropUK for the kind sponsorship of this entry, and the fungicide programme included Revystar !

@drkindred @ADASGroup Amongst all the doom & gloom amidst farming currently, YEN really is a positive project for UK arable farming to look up to - a real shame it is coming to an end. Optimising economic crop output (regardless of system) remains key to navigating the choppy waters ahead

@drkindred @ultimapaul @ADASGroup So it’s down to attention to detail and the land type and weather you get?

Christina Clarke at #YEN2026 shows the value and of high yields from 13 years of YEN data - ⬆️ gross margin £/ha ⬇️ £/t ⬇️ GHGs/t ⬇️ N balance. @ADASGroup

@Social_Farmers @cutlerstom @Jes_Squirrell @ADASGroup Agree. We need to enhance Performance generally - most importantly profit. There is the opportunity now to develop learning networks from the bottom up to achieve - already have one ADOPT project, scope for many more - get involved via ARC Innovators at in.thearc.farm
English
@cutlerstom @drkindred @Jes_Squirrell @ADASGroup It was a commercial yield competition with commercial sponsors. There should have been a PEN, profit enhancement network, being run in parallel, in my opinion.
English
@cutlerstom @Jes_Squirrell @ADASGroup That’s very much an outlier… and it didn’t pay off - you can’t buy yield.
English
@Jes_Squirrell @drkindred @ADASGroup The problem with increased VC spend is that it doesn’t guarantee an increased yield. 2025 proves that fact.
And, of course, a big yield often depresses prices making additional VC spending even more risky.
English
@Jes_Squirrell @ADASGroup No simple answers to how higher yields are being achieved - beyond attention to detail and good management of the soil and whole system, including nutrition. But we’ve shown that high yields are possible almost everywhere and it’s not about crop spend. No silver bullets.
English
@drkindred @ADASGroup What would be more interesting is whether variable cost spend has any correlation with yield.
Everyone knows that yield helps vastly in achieving decent gross margins.
But those graphs don’t illustrate HOW better yield is being achieved.

@pete_ar_fryn @cutlerstom @Rosewood_Farm Simon is 20 years in, so has been through the transition. His soils are totally transformed, but unfortunately he is not seeing the upside in crop performance. We need to understand what's limiting yield for him.
English
@cutlerstom @Rosewood_Farm After the period of transition, won’t the financial benefits of regen be realised? Ie lower input costs, more climate resilient, better soils? You yourself imply the financial pressures are external. (And I agree there should be more financial support for lower impact farming)
English
This is not an uncommon view from many honest farms. If these “environmental benefits” cannot be monetised in some way from either public or private finance, there’s really no other financial gain to be had. If the support for this “regen” farming dries up, we will revert.

I have yet to see any benefits from all this extra life in my soils, just lower yields. I my as well just plough the lot, drill without any care or attention like most do round here, then end up with a much bigger pile of wheat in the shed.
