We recently visited the Royal Agricultural University at Cirencester and on Sunday visited Harper Adams University both of which offer fantastic Agricultural courses.
Travelling anywhere in the UK or abroad we tend to check the fields as we go along and see which crops are being grown. Some of those we passed at the weekend had been hit quite hard by drought.
On the whole our crops have coped well with the dry weather so far, however each variety will respond differently to the growing conditions.
Vulkan wheat is growing in the field on the left of this photograph and will be ready to harvest in just a few days whereas the green Crusoe milling wheat on the right is about one month from harvesting.
Whilst the scars may be healing over on the lambs necks, the lack of growth in the lambs that were attacked in April is now very evident in this row.
This field will be cut and baled as haylage next week, subject to it staying dry and then we’ll move the sheep onto this fresh grass which they will love.
The grain store frame is now up and some of the concrete panels are slotted into place.
