Firstly, I hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing Christmas and New Year. It feels like a long time since I wrote my previous blog post, so thought I would provide an update on what the Indigro team have been up to in January...
Continue ReadingI thought I would start this blog post by reviewing this past Autumn and the outlook for most farms. Not much has changed since my previous entry, with the rain continuing to hold us off the land and wet patches still laying wet. The frosts...
Continue ReadingAs 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,...
Continue ReadingI 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...
