Nice result on the harrow weeder and impressive yield on the spring wheat. I grew some organic spring beans that were unbelievably clean this year on some of my dirtiest ground which i was able to direct drill a ryegrass cover crop into. The crop was interrow hoed but it seems ive had virtually no grassweed germination from not rolling after drilling and keeping the surface loose and dry. I think the hoeing then knocked out a very slow flush of weeds that were stuggling to grow in loose dry clods. Obviously thats not ideal for pre em efficacy but i thought the result was better than where we might have sprayed in the past. Ill try it again next year and I'll get the most punishingly thick flush of grassweed most likely 😅
The way the climate is nowadays alongside any natural events reaction to it makes everything more complex hence lessons will be learned every year. Birds, bees and other species don’t rely on specific dates to aid their breeding cycles or ultimately their survival, so perhaps farmers should not rely on dates either. Soil conditions, preceding and forecast temperatures and the general health of the land is probably a more important factor to observe when drilling or planting crops. Just my tuppence. Best wishes and well done for completing another tricky harvest. Best wishes, Tony.
Thanks Tony, I'm inspired by biomimicry, spring can simply be delayed but struggling to think of an example of animals responding to an early winter, any ideas?
@@AntonysRegen Some might say that certain birds can foretell early winters, but I can't entirely agree with that notion. Moreover, it is more of an indicator of what has been before, i.e., a good growing season for fruits and seeds in the past spring or even the previous winter. Local short-haul migrations of birds (uplands to lowlands, for instance) can be a sign of cold weather movements, or reactions to particular weather phenomena at that time. Nature is awe-inspiring, and all of us never stop learning from it. That's why nature can be your friend when proven cost-effective for any farm business. Right now, though, it must feel like the enemy from hell for many growers worldwide. Take care and Best wishes, Tony.

That rainfall total is scary. I hope that’s not your house flooded

Nice job Duncan

Interesting update. Thanks

Thanks Tony, never thought of local migration 👍
Rear wheels off for a proper clean is very sensible, it’s the only way to get at everything.
Thanks Will
