As the rain continues to fall across England, positivity has reached an all-time low. So, I decided to start this blog post on a positive note. Early drilled Winter Oilseed Rape crops are looking very impressive. Residual herbicides and Autumn fungicides are going on now,...
I think the title of this post aptly describes the last month or so. As the new season ramps up and WOSR is beginning to take off, I can’t help but think this hot weather is a month too late. The fact that we are in...
