Drilling continues at pace, but this episode is an honest one about the pressures that come with it. We own up to a costly mistake, when for the first time in 27 years a seed variety mix up left us with two milling wheats blended in the same trailer, and James reflects candidly on management, standards and what it takes to keep a big operation running smoothly.

There is a sobering look at costs too. A new electricity quote for the grain store alone has come back £54,000 higher than last year, and with almost everything rising except the price of grain, we talk through why the market needs to move and what that squeeze really means. We also get into the logistics of handling the new hybrid seed, and walk the oilseed rape, where despite serious flea beetle damage there are finally some encouraging signs of life.

With drilling powering on and the Trailer of Dreams being readied for the Grandstand show this weekend, there is plenty on. From an honest management moment to the rising cost of farming, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.
