Got 2 calls this week about this: "Rob, you've sheep in the oats!" Me: "its ok, they're grazing the cover crop, it sequesters carbon, cycles nutrients back into the soil and improves soil health and biology" Silence... "... Ah.. .. do u want a hand getting them out?!"

🌱Unique 2 year MSc Research Scholarship Opportunity at @ucdagfood with Project BASELINE to investigate what influences farmers to adopt Regenerative Agriculture. Deadline: March 14 2026 See projectbaseline.ie/msc-scholarship @agriculture_ie @BaseIreland

🦅 Le faucon crécerelle est capable de rester presque immobile dans les airs, en se stabilisant grâce à la position de ses ailes et de sa queue, qu’il ajuste en fonction du vent et des courants d’air. Pendant ce vol stationnaire, appelé « vol du Saint-Esprit », sa tête reste totalement immobile grâce à un réflexe de stabilisation, lui permettant de garder une vision fixe sur le sol pour repérer ses proies, petits rongeurs, insectes ou lézards... 🎯

Huge thanks to Clinton and the Brownrigg family for hosting yesterday s farm meeting and a massive thanks to Olaf,Stephanie and Tara from the Soil Rise project UCD who shared loads of value soil and worm knowledge.

Jim Cronin will be brining insights from scientists and regenerative farmers around the world, home to Ireland in his talk at #BioFarm 2025! Don't miss out. #Farming #Agriculture

@sizov_andre world-grain.com/articles/21828… How much truth is in this Andre? Will there be far less grain grown in Russia in the medium term?

Russian #wheat export prices dipped below $230 last week 📉 More weakness ahead? More: sizov.report/?utm_campaign=… #oatt #agwx #sizovreport

@SebiVogler @ErlandLundeby That was winter wheat broadcast a few years ago cover with a shallow run of a vaderstad Cultus. Disc harrow also a more even job, but needs to be a bit drier for that

@ErlandLundeby Visited once a farm in Ukraine, there they seeded most of their winter wheat in this way. They tried it once because it was to wet for the drills, and in the following years, it became standard practice.

Drill standing inside. Outside rain every day. Good drilling conditions and best date for drilling winterwheat in Norway comes to an end soon. What about broadcast wheat followed by a shallow run with a disc harrow ?? Comments please..

@ErlandLundeby Broadcast spring oats in April 2025. You have to throw some in the hedge to get a full headland crop

@ErlandLundeby Works great Erland. Up your seed rate a little . In an ideal world it gets rolled after. Slugs are the biggest threat. Also if there is a lot of residue it's not ideal.

We’ve swapped our dairy ration over to Irish rolled barley this morning and our cows are very happy to be supporting the Irish tillage industry! #tillagecrisis @IFAmedia
