First bit of yellow rust ive spotted up here this season, in late drilled Skyscraper. Unlike Septoria, later drilled wheat crops are more susceptible to yellow rust. – at North East, England

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks to all the local farms for joining us to find out a little about SFI and muck management on grassland. – at West Midlands, England
Brilliant evening last night @wensleydalerufc discussing SFI, Omnia, Legumes in Ruminant rations & Manure spreading legislation. Great to collaborate with I’ansons to deliver combined value to our mixed farming clients.

Middle window wheats now coming up. Here Graham following grass went in 10/10. Reports of Frit Fly damage being severe, but fortunately haven’t come across any badly damaged crops yet. #NorthYorkshire #farming. – at Yorkshire and The Humber, England

Haven’t seen one of these before - @JoskinSA TerraFlex XXL tined slurry application rig at @TillageLive. Keep that nitrogen in! #NUE – at Dunbar, Scotland
Must be time to get this year’s sloe Gin on the go! 🫐Lovely Autumn day field walking. #NorthYorkshire #wheat23

A couple of friendlies for the farm. Don’t mistake ladybird larvae (left) or hoverfly pupae (right) for pests!
Far and away the greatest varietal differences of any trial I have visited this year - worth a look if you’re in the area.
2nd day of our variety trials at Low Walworth Farm. Great interest yesterday in the untreated plots and #utrisha-n trials. 🌾 Get your questions ready for representatives of @Bayer4CropsUK , @AdamaUK_, @CortevaForage, @certis_belchim…

Today’s the day! Come down and see our largest ever selection of wheats and barleys today and tomorrow. Untreateds showing huge differences in disease levels. 🌾 Also a chance to get moisture meters calibrated before harvest 2022 and see machinery from our local dealers. 🚜 – at North East, England

Only 3 days until our Helix Yorkshire Open Day. Thursday 16th June 10-4pm. YO51 9QT. Lots to see including NUE trials, soil management and business planning. @Hutchinsons_Ag @SteadyDave1 @SamHugill2 @Benn_Jagger @Louis_WAg
Trialling this bacterial product this year at various sites, first monitoring feedback is very exciting. The idea of being able to fix nitrogen directly within leaf tissues has huge repercussions for reducing synthetic N spend, and carbon footprint accordingly. Watch this space!
Have you heard about what #Utrisha ™ N can do? This Nutrient Efficiency #Biostimulant takes nitrogen from the air to support plants as they need it. Time to explore the science behind this innovation! Watch now!
