Stats don’t lie! January to May weather figures for our farm in S.Lincs, year to date;
Sunlight -26%
Wind -18%
Rain + 51%
The crops and I would like some sunshine please! 🥔🌾🫛🥦🌱
Hard to see from the eye, but very impressed with the rooting results from applying 3l/ha of NHK Delta from @BionatureAgri. This was applied about 3 weeks ago when this Laureate spring barley was at 2 true leaves. Time will tell…

what a cracking evening to be putting a splash of foliar N on and putting Joel williams @IntegratedSoils online lectures into practice

As aphid numbers increase rapidly #BBRO is investigating a range of novel IPM strategies to limit their build up and reduce virus yellows. Which colour will work best? @NFUSugar @BritishSugar

"Snipe's Snug" a tribute to my lovely old dog, combined with the Snipe we get a lot of in the cover crops over winter. Opening in June - if the damn grass seed will grow!

Thank you and well done @afgroupuk fuels team. Proactive phone call to say that our diesel tank was 70% empty (Tank Scout), fuel price had dropped and would we like it filled. Keeping us going. Saving us money. Smart work. Thank you AF. 👍🏼⛽️📉

Finding the @yara N tester especially useful this year to calibrate VRA maps on yield potential in my very variable wheat crops. Tricky bit is gauging the yield potential in the first place mind!

Bit of a difference from tap to rain water! – at South East, England

I don’t think I’ve ever been so cross / feel so sick / let down…. Being told I’m not eligible for the flood recovery fund! It’s a complete joke and insult. Talk about kick someone when they’re down! @wheat_daddy @NFUtweets @BBCNews @BBCPaulMurphy @victoria_ward @_RobbieMoore
We got there in the end…. Sugar beet harvest done! Sugars are surprisingly good still. Top job Richard Ivatt and team on a very challenging campaign. @BritishSugar
Fendt 728 and Horsch leeb applying T0 on Buccaneer winter barley. Also managed to get the OSR sprayed and T0 on the Extase WW. Dawsum WW about 7 days away from being ready. Shame about the forecast, still got 60 acres of beet to lift and 1/3rd of the farm to be spring drilled..

Some good farming news!
Lamb reaches £7/kg
A quick calculation suggests that sheep farmers are currently receiving £35 - £40 a head more than this time last year for finished lambs. @FarmersWeekly

If the rivers and brooks aren’t cleaned out then this is the result. Acres of farmland flooded and crops destroyed.

These fields have been flooded since October ……. – at East Midlands, England
Britain’s food security is under threat from a lack of effective flood protection. Farmer Andrew Ward @wheat_daddy calls out Environment Agency inaction to prevent Lincolnshire farmland flooding.
