@niabgroup plots at @Groundswellaguk looking fabulous in the sunshine. Crop competition, managed inputs, alternative break crops and herbal leys all represented. Crimson clover is bringing the colour!
A low effort approach as a means to look at soil structure - great job!
Nice to be back doing some @niabgroup field talks at @AgriSouthUK. Got to try forklift soil profile investigation and some blue dye infiltration pathway demos. Where does an inch of “rain” go?

The #NIAB stand @CerealsEvent features over 125 crop and variety plots, the popular soil pit, plus you can get the latest advice and research in variety choice, agronomy, soil and rotation management and crop genetics. See: ow.ly/6JUE50ExIa7 #Cereals21

Cover crops doing their job at the @niabgroup NFS Rotations Trial at @Morleyfarms. Radish at growth stage 0.75 dog in plots receiving a full N dose in last season’s winter wheat, scavenging residual soil nitrogen. Just the 0.20 dog in plots receiving below optimal N last year
Good to see the support of long-term studies to help us develop our understanding of farming systems and the impact on productivity.

📹You couldn't visit the soil pit @CerealsEvent this year, so we're bringing it to you!
NIAB's Lydia Smith and Patrick McKenna take you beneath the top soil for a worm's eye view of the soil structure @EWDaviesFarms in Essex. See the videos at: ow.ly/FTlp50Bs9hA
Thunderstorms are coming to #norfolk soon???
EAST: Quite an active cluster of thunderstorms over north Essex and into Hertfordshire, drifting west-northwestwards towards #Cambridge, #Luton and possibly #Bedford later. Tricky driving conditions on M11 between A11 and #Stansted, and A1(M) between #Stevenage and #Letchworth

Temperatures in the UK exceeded 35°C today for the 5th time this year (31st Jul, 7th Aug, 10th Aug, 11th Aug, 12th Aug).
This ties with 1976, which is the only other year on record with this many ≥35°C days 🥵

Great to meet the @Groundswellaguk team on the stunning Hertfordshire site yesterday, planning for the 2021 event including a wider range of demo plots and a #soilscience seminar marquee with NIAB's Farming Systems Team @DavidClarke735 @AgricWill

Harvesting the New Farming systems Trials yesterday @Morleyfarms. This is the 13th Year of trial data including the feasibility of white clover companion crop under different nitrogen regimes. Want to know more about the trials? See: ow.ly/Wk7E50ATdu9 #Harvest20

Light cultivation by @Morleyfarms this evening on the New Farming Systems Rotations Trial. Cover crop to be drilled tomorrow. Clover bi crop (est. Aug 2017) plots also receiving cultivation to promote regrowth and alow set seed to establish before winter barley @niabgroup #Farm24
