Checked the crops via drone today after all the rain and these are the only 2 fields with lodging and it’s small, there’s either nothing in them or I’m getting good at PGR

Crop separation is perceived as a barrier to #intercropping, but new technology is making this process easier & more accessible The group went to see some of this tech in action - here you can see the before & after for a wheat/bean intercrop Thanks @McArthur_Agri for the demo!

79% of the worlds cows live in Africa, South America and Asia - Western Europe accounts for just 2% of the population. With a British cow emitting 17x lower CO2eq/kg than a Tanzanian cow and 3x lower than a Brazilian cow…global averages are fun but see how they can skew?

Is it time to ban beef? 🐮 Journalist and presenter Ade Adepitan argues that the production of beef is so bad for the environment that eating it should be thought of as "the new smoking".

This year’s potato harvest is the worst in recent memory which is rapidly turning into a salvage operation as drills are underwater following recent flooding, IFA potato committee chair Seán Ryan has said.

2023 potato harvest , IFA quoting 60% still to be lifted. Stress and strain on growers is now concerning. Growers have high cost outlays still stuck in ground. Bacterial breakdown, skin disease and overall quality will be a challenge in storage.@farmersjournal @IFAmedia

Serious issues facing all field vegetable and potato growers along with tillage in general. High levels of waste have been seen in all crops due to poor weather conditions for the whole year. Retailers need to take a long hard look at what growers face daily and discount produce.

@ArableSam @John_Dunne_ We find there’s a good bit less N left after the peas compared to the s. beans. You would hardly see the residual N in the following crop after the peas, where as you could lodge a crop quickly after the beans if you weren’t keeping it in mind…. Not that that’s ever happened! 😉
English
@John_Dunne_ Any peas in trials this year?
Do you see any difference in the following crop between winter beans,spring beans and peas?
English
We talk about cover crops etc but I don’t think there is any crop better for the land than beans. They’re better than any crop I’ve seen to penetrate through the profile, they fix N and the haulm is usually chopped and returned to the soil. 🌱👌

Sprayed winter oats today, 5 chemicals in the mix mainly fungicide it rained heavy for 2 minutes after I finished then stopped, someone tell me what I want to hear and that it won’t affect it 🥲

Reading this study from Canada again FARMERS income is the green . From 1985 to 2016 agribusiness (input suppliers and service providers)received 98% of the 1.35trillion of revenue from agriculture production . Something seriously wrong there .
