Last week we established our spring barley plots with our very own drill. We plan to run nutrition and biostimulant trials on these so stay tuned for more. (The seed did go in the right way up and it is growing 😆) @Hutchinsons_Ag @TomWhitfield10

Checking the progress at our Buston Barns RTC. Cereal plots are well established and tillering. Some big differences between the conventional and hybrid oilseed rape due to late drilling. This is being monitored throughout the season @Hutchinsons_Ag @wdp52
