Oil Seed Rape at the onset of flowering.
The landscape is now taking on a wonderful yellow hue, perhaps earlier than traditionally so.
Headland Tramlines.
Still a few wet patches in fields!
Opportunistic herbivores.
Highly nutritious, tender, and accessible, rabbits are drawn to the soft leaves, stems, and flowers of legumes like beans. I just wish they wouldn’t!
Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle.
Why is my crop of Oil Seed Rape not growing as well as my neighbors?
Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle.
For the best crop of larvae establish your Oil Seed Rape in the month of August.
Winter Barley.
"I left this bit just to show you how well your grass weed herbicide has worked this year."
Winter Oil Seed Rape.
Stem elongation has begun but we will have to see what the weather does as to how fast it progresses.
Source and Sink.
Winter barley. Early Nitrogen required to maintain a high tiller number.
Experimental.
Trials work in and out of the field.
Charlock in Oil Seed Rape.
Very good coverage of the target with herbicide.
Weed Control. Oil Seed Rape.
It may be December but there are always a few odd jobs that can be ticked off the list.
Game Cover.
A well established game cover strip in the corner of one wheat field.
Field Headland. Oil Seed Rape.
A conventional variety, drilled in September, growing right up to the edge of the field.
Herbicide effects on Blackgrass.
The effects of residual herbicide applied earlier in the season now show as dramatic symptoms on Blackgrass plants in Oil Seed Rape crops.
How much rainfall?
It may have rained but pond levels still remain low and dykes do not show running water from land drainage tiles.
Murder.
A highly effective herbicide combination to murder bean volunteers without the use of hormone herbicides.
Autumn Sown Linseed.
Blackgrass does not mind which crop you plant it is happy to grow just about anywhere.
Winter wheat plant populations.
Another good plant population in a block of autumn sown winter wheat.
Pulling the other one.
Knock knock.
Who’s there? Cow.
Cow who?
Cow much longer can you tolerate this knocking?

Size Matters.
Before spraying this autumn with contact herbicides for broad leaf weeds, best to check the plant size and stage of development.
Winter sown barley.
Nicely in row and now prone to aphid infestation and virus infection.
Autumn Sown Linseed.
Blackgrass control can be quite effective in this crop.
What fun!
Blackgrass seedlings emerging from depth in a dry, knobbly seedbed. Not the easiest of targets for residual herbicides.
Oil Seed Rape.
The early volunteer control looks good and nothing much in the way of Cabbage Stem Flea beetle damage.
Lucerne.
Wind-rowing the final cut on the lucerne.
