@ADASGroup Everyone worked hard at bake off this year and brought in some great bakes. Including Tom who was the last to bake his afternoon tea selection. With this piece he won the overall vote! However, Murray won Gary's handshake with his Opera cake.

The follow up to our bake-off contest includes spanakopita, parkin, banoffee pie, and opera cake.

We’ve been doing our own bake-off contest in the field team. The technical challenge of each week has to be brought in by a pre-picked member! Here’s what we’ve had so far!

Both our ryegrass and black grass trial sites have had their final late drilling completed last week. Herbicide treatment sprays and assessments are now to follow!

Another not great pic of @ADASBoxworth @weedwise black-grass site. So much to talk about; Stacking cultural & herbicide control. New herbicide options. Maximising weed suppression across drill dates/companion crops. Optimum timings & approaches to sequencing herbicides +++more

Italian Ryegrass trials site coming together @ADASBoxworth @weedwiseuk It's so important that we develop and refine approaches to IWM in this weed as it continues to increase as a significant weed issue on-farm in the UK. and yes that is a lot of plots isn't it!

Not the greatest of photos but here's @ADASBoxworth trials team establishing black-grass management trials established. What a frustrating autumn it's been but thanks to their hard work we are up and running!
