All up and away nicely. 31mm yesterday will move things on. 67.5mm for the month so far. Nice to have new crops emerging bringing an air of positivity with them!

The last of the 2023 crop on its way out. Finished planting 2024 crop yesterday and back to winning ways at cricket. Proper weekend! Thanks to Russell’s for the demo Manitou 841. Cracking machine!

It seems there is a higher presence of grass weeds for the second year in a row. Are we losing the fight against grass weeds? Or have we already lost it and this is the norm?

Really happy with how our heavier land is looking. Num3 planted on Tuesday with 750A after a pass of Heva stealth. 26.5mm yesterday. 6 years no-till is really paying dividends for the soil structure. This field is around 25% clay content

Before I spend a small fortune importing compost biological starter: has anyone had success using starter made in the UK?

The end of an incredible chapter… Huge thanks to the Beckett’s for allowing me the opportunity. Massive thanks to everyone who has shared their knowledge along the way. And thanks to my friends, family, fellow scholars for all the support! Couldn’t have done it without you all!!

Can maincrop potatoes be grown in a regenerative system? That’s the question that James Pick is tackling during the next Scholar presentation #NuffCon23 @Jamesspick
A big thanks to James’ sponsor, The Alan & Anne Beckett Award

Has anyone found a solution to stop losing so many tubers of marketable yield with a Dewulf RCA 3060? Majority being lost at intake but also on transfer from RS to elevator.

Lovely sample of Elland, first time growing the variety. Only pesticides used pre-planting glyphosate and desiccant

We require some parts for the following harrow on a 2021 Horsch Sprinter. Does anyone have any recommendations or leads to companies who may be able to help? Original provider not worth bothering with.

Today was our annual Conference at @sandburnhal1. Great talks on MH by Geoff from UPL, Clive @Kingscrops, Philip from Wright Resolutions and @Jamesspick talking us through his @NuffieldFarming study. Really insightful look at #potatoes part in #regenerative farming systems 🥔👍

The Ogallala aquifer is the largest underground water source in North America, giving life to ~ 30% of all crop and animal production in the US
The aquifer’s water supply has dropped by as much as 75% and is on pace to dry up in the next 70 years.
