Had a few days to reflect on finishing my Nuffield travels. 11 weeks on the road, 6 countries visited and a complete rollercoaster of emotions. Thanks to all who have taken the time to talk to me, suggested a contact or hosted me. Look forward to returning the favour!🇨🇦🇺🇸🇦🇺🇳🇿🇫🇷🇧🇪

The Ogallala aquifer is the largest underground water source in North America, giving life to ~ 30% of all crop and animal production in the US The aquifer’s water supply has dropped by as much as 75% and is on pace to dry up in the next 70 years.

Today was our annual Conference at @sandburnhal1. Great talks on MH by Geoff from UPL, Clive Kings, Philip from Wright Resolutions and James Pick talking us through his Nuffield Farming study. Really insightful look at #potatoes part in #regenerative farming systems 🥔👍

We require some parts for the following harrow on a 2021 Horsch Sprinter. Does anyone have any recommendations or leads to companies who may be able to help? Original provider not worth bothering with.

Has anyone found a solution to stop losing so many tubers of marketable yield with a Dewulf RCA 3060? Majority being lost at intake but also on transfer from RS to elevator.

The end of an incredible chapter… Huge thanks to the Beckett’s for allowing me the opportunity. Massive thanks to everyone who has shared their knowledge along the way. And thanks to my friends, family, fellow scholars for all the support! Couldn’t have done it without you all!!

Before I spend a small fortune importing compost biological starter: has anyone had success using starter made in the UK?

Really happy with how our heavier land is looking. Num3 planted on Tuesday with 750A after a pass of Heva stealth. 26.5mm yesterday. 6 years no-till is really paying dividends for the soil structure. This field is around 25% clay content

It seems there is a higher presence of grass weeds for the second year in a row. Are we losing the fight against grass weeds? Or have we already lost it and this is the norm?
