ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦KWS UK Ltdā© ā¦ADM Agriculture Ltdā©. A wonderful looking crop of KWS Ultimatum (Group 2) wheat growing at Terrington Marsh, Norfolk as a seed crop. It looks a lot cleaner than some varieties that Septoria has hit hard regardless of chemistry applied!


ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦@LSPBLtdā© ā¦Dalton Seedsā©. A cracking looking crop of Bluetime peas at Hilgay, Norfolk. Now about to receive another 2.0 litre manganese 15% to keep them going.


ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦RAGT Seeds UKā©. 22 hectares RGT Grouse growing as seed crop for ā¦Dalton Seedsā© at Terrington St Clement. I didnāt rate it in February/March but it has surprised me by how it looks now! BYDV resistant variety so could be useful in aphid hotspots



ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦GreenvaleAPā©. 2 different cover crops at Friday Bridge, Cambs. One is Solanum Scabrum, a crop grown to effectively fool potato cyst nematodes into thinking they can use it to multiply without success. The other is Maxi Cover, a nutrient balancer.


STOLEN from a field in Barnby, Suffolk, our much beloved Hyundai 55-3 six-ton digger. Please share, and report any leads here! Very distinctive, lime green with a red patch on dipper arm. Suffolk Police


ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© Hello World! ā¦KWS UK Ltdā© Zealum starting to emerge at Marshland St James. Norfolk. Farmer grows all soft wheat, mostly for own delivery into Heygates biscuit mill at Downham Market. This is a new variety here this season.




ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦KWS UK Ltdā© ā¦Saxon Agricultureā©. 8 hectares KWS Parkin growing as a seed crop at Littleport for Saxon Agriculture. It follows onions. I wish all the wheat in my care looked as good as this!



ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦Hill Court Farmā©. Out getting on with Nitrogen core sampling today. Soil nitrogen levels are better measured than guessed!


ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦Origin Soil Nutritionā© ā¦British Sugarā©. Customer at Methwold Hythe, Norfolk applying a blend of P,K, MgO and Na2O to his field in preparation for a 2024 sugar beet crop. Wissington beet factory in background steaming away processing 2023 crop!



ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦British Sugarā© I have never seen pigeons attack sugar beet leaves as much as they have this year. Is it because the pigeon population has exploded or a lack of alternative food sources or another reason?


ā¦@Hutchinsons_Agā© ā¦KWS UK Ltdā©. This KWS Zealum looks really good following application of 220Kg/ha nitrogen (3rd wheat) and 3 fungicides. Farmer hopes it will yield 10 tonnes ha and be acceptable to Heygates at Downham Market with whom he has a good relationship.
