Monday 12th July we had a visit from 3 esteemed gentlemen .From left to right , Roger, Neil and Nick.
Neil has put together the programme that we have followed this year , Roger is our regular agronomist and has along with Neil put up with numerous questions from myself.Some intelligent some perhaps not so , and Nick was along to have alook.
We came to several conclusions, these being
1 The wheat is remarkbly clean disease wise.
2It looks promising yield wise but we could have pushed it alittle bit harder with N as the trefoil and the |Twin N may have not worked so well .
3 The weeds wont` affect yield and if we have a major black grass problem in the future , this could help.
We discussed next years option and the plan at the moment is to try to establish a cover crop of oats and red clover this autumn , spray out the oats come spring and direct seed the wheat with some DAP .
We will then make a decision with regards to N . But i think we will give it some more.
