Stirling Fenton

@Knaggsy16 19.9 inside is comfortable

Not 100% sure how accurate my sensor is but even +/- 1C that’s brass monkeys out there this morning and still dropping 🥶🥶 #thefens #ely

I'm confident you'd like to sit through the legislation sessions again. Likewise @Knaggsy16 - must be time for BASIS veg!

I hear from @agronomytrainer that there’s some Yellow Rust about. So which of the attached photos show symptoms of this important wheat disease? @BenHipperson @ssmshah @GaryWilloughb11 @lucindasmith95 @TimEatonCycles @ed_trotter1 @reglimagrain @Seedsman1986 @farmer_richardT

Think he said he was the new #fenwheatbarron 🤣

@willstokes228 What cover crop is this?

Incorporating some cove crop crop today. Unbelievable conditions for January. Will we pay later 🤔

@GoodgerSimon @agronomytrainer @Kingston22W @jamesrom @angela_huckle @mattbean76 @stephrbeavis @RobWatsonAg Not on a Friday evening no

@FentonStirling @agronomytrainer @Kingston22W @jamesrom @angela_huckle @mattbean76 @stephrbeavis @RobWatsonAg Not for long I hope!

This one is for vegetable enthusiasts, as we look at diseases of stored cabbage & onions. Which of the images below have been CORRECTLY labelled? Answer using the poll. @agronomytrainer @Kingston22W @jamesrom @angela_huckle @mattbean76 @stephrbeavis @RobWatsonAg

Organic Bettollo beetroot from @Elsomsseeds looking pukka lovely contrast of colour against the fenland peat.

@JuliaSoilsister @organicarable @hanslope Previous crop was organic little gem and romaine lettuce. We use a treffla Harrow to pull cotyledon weeds out and mineralise some nutrition early spring to encourage growth

@FentonStirling @organicarable @hanslope That looks great! What's your weed control strategy and what was grown previously?

First attempt at Organic Mulika Spring wheat @organicarable @hanslope

@organicarable @hanslope @FarmerBarney Weeds are a major challenge, especially on the fen soil Good early spring growth and timely harrowing gives the crop the best opportunity to outcompete any weeds

@FentonStirling @hanslope @FarmerBarney I was about to say it's some of the best ground available! It warms up really quickly which is great for spring germination. How do you find the weeds?

@hanslope @FarmerBarney @organicarable Soil OM of over 25% black gold !!!

@FentonStirling @FarmerBarney @organicarable 150kg/ha wow! That’s an amazing population for that rate 👍

@FarmerBarney @organicarable @hanslope @FarmerBarney drilled late March 150kg/ha

@FentonStirling @organicarable @hanslope Drilled in early season ?
