As winter approaches, it is essential to have aphids under control.
The key to this is understanding their lifecycle. A lot of heavy rain and windy weather will slow down aphid activity, as will frost, but it will not kill them unless it becomes very cold. Read our latest blog for more info
Make sure your winter crops are protected against aphids this year. Damage from aphids occurs in cereals, mainly by transferring the BYDV virus into the plant as it is feeding on it. BYDV can infect wheat, barley and oats. It is reported that BYDV can lead to yield losses of up to 40% in high …

RED MILLS Agri experts run through the key points that will help in achieving high yields and margins for the 2018 harvest. 🌾🌱

Agronomy team take a look at recent grain prices and outline the predictions for the 2017/2018 harvest. 🌾
High levels of supply coupled with poor demand sees the continuation of low grain prices.
We take a look at the best methods of managing winter feed deficits and the addition of supplements to a herds diet 🐄
With the majority of dairy cows indoors now, farmers must establish the extent of their winter feed deficit and formulate a plan that delivers an appropriate solution.
Due to a Summer of mixed weather, it was made difficult to ensure top quality grass silage.
We discuss the importance of silage analysis ahead of winter feeding 🐄🍽️
No matter what the perception is of your silage it is always strongly advised that farmers carry out silage sampling that is representative of what your stock will be eating this winter. We look at what these results will mean and how to interpret each of the elements outlined in your results.
A quick update on Winter Oilseed R**e, the spraying of herbicides, the planting of Winter Cereal Crops and aphid control 🌡️🌱
Oilseed R**e and Winter Crops are progressing well as we approach the winter period, however growers must still assess their crops as the weather and conditions change.
