Today we rush to apply our first aphicide applications to 200 acres of winter wheat to offer protection from the BYDV those aphids may carry, aside from this we clear around 100 acres of pre em spray on thatching wheat drilled last week. Will driving the Horsch Leeb VT 6.300 sprayer.

In the workshop the Pottinger triple mowers are very nearly completely fixed, a good day from Harry and Rob working on them sees them back together and aligned by the end of the day.

We discuss the new fertiliser tax that the UK government are introducing for 2027 against the back drop of some record low yields from agriculture for much of the UK. Is this the right decision? Is our carbon footprint worth the risk to the economy and the industry considering the size of our country in the global picture?
