@Wyefarm Def some cheaper ones out there. I saw several c.£15-18K at the Suffolk Show. I test drove a diesel one and couldn’t stand the noise!

Been doing a little research on Electric UTV's. I've always thought our Mule is crying out to be electrified rather than a noisy diesel. Was told the Polaris Kinetic is an absolute animal so had a quick Google... I think I'll put up with the noise! 💸💸💸

@Wyefarm You are definitely not alone. And SFI schemes stuck in approval since September! Not confidence inspiring

Anyone else still waiting on Mid Tier money? Or am I the only one left in the "Claim Validation" abyss. 🙄

@RTKfarmer Will you use the disc drill to sow it through standing barley?

Over seeding spring cereals with companions for SFI. Moisture for germination won’t be a concern.

@robbyraven @ArableSam Hi Robert, yes it will go on as a foliar application if we run into a dry spell. Usually go with 100l/ha, early in morning or late evening when stomata are open. Plan to apply around 10kgs N, chuck some Mg in too, Mn if needed

@ArableSam I think I’ll apply no more than 10kgs N per ha at a time? It Displaced water to 900l or so, and I’ll probably add some molasses and top up water to make it a round 1000l in the tank.

Few days away in Paris, with an unexpected cameo from the French farmers. Massive police escort, passers by throwing them kisses, and a hog roasting on the front linkage of the last tractor- they know how to spend a Friday night!

@DougCutter70464 @PhilipMorrisUK Disgusting that @PhilipMorrisUK would pay for advertising to defend it's ability to sell nicotine to teenagers of the future. Just go away and let them live longer healthier lives, your shareholders will cope 🤮

Many falsely believe that nicotine is the main cause of smoking-related diseases. It's not. Smoke is. Don't confuse current smokers looking to make better choices by including heated tobacco in the proposed gen ban 👉 notacigarette.co.uk #NotACigarette #NotASmoker

Interesting news line about potential for capping SFI revealed by @Mark_Spencer today as a reply to a question from @caw_brown @Brownandcorural following the Minister’s address @RNAAuk Norfolk Farming Conference. #NFC24
Brown&Co Rural@Brownandcorural

1) Farming Minister the Rt Hon @Mark_Spencer MP hinted the government are considering capping the amount of SFI available to farmers to ensure they are encouraged to keep producing food. @RNAAuk #NFC24

@FredVLarsen On spring wheat last year we did applications at GS 25, 32,37 and late flowering/grain fill. Barley I’m thinking more Gs13,25 32 but that could change

Winter barley direct drilled after moling in August. It is obvious that if I had subsoiled as well, it would be a much better crop.

@FarmerSimonC @TuomasJMattila @FredVLarsen @CropsCover We've converted two old subsoilers. We have Tillso Sabre lite on one at 600mm centres (would be better at 500), and tillso ultralight at 400 centres on the other for shallower work. I hear the weavings are good too

@TuomasJMattila @FredVLarsen @CropsCover Making concrete blocks and being unable to convert them into a seedbed was why I went to no-till all those years ago. Maybe now with the soil in much better condition, I could just roll and drill straight after, no problem?

DIGITAL GRAIN PASSPORT Question to farmers & hauliers - are you in favour of the proposed DGP ? The costs with setting it up are yet to be quantified. Eventually it looks like it will be the grower who pays for it. In favour of it respond with a yes, against it please reply no.

@Pxfarms @no1sunkfarmer @sunkfarmer Exactly, where the mole travels through a sand gall then the sand drops and fills up the void and washed down the channel. It only happens where the soil is mixed and seams of sand amongst the clay

@ukeastcoast @rashidsuffolk @hertsfarming @Wilkster_ @gordonfarming Every centralised IT system is prone to outages, which would paralyse deliveries, the cost would be huge. Lorry drivers and loader drivers needing to sync the passport across by Bluetooth is bound to cause problems too. This is a white elephant and a vanity project for someone!

@rashidsuffolk @hertsfarming @Wilkster_ @gordonfarming We already get instant feedback if there's a problem, and by then the cost has already been incurred, so the business case suggesting money will be saved by avoiding delivering out of spec loads is completely overstated.
