Unbiased advice ranging from full crop walking to compliance
Crop Walking
Crop walking is a very important part of what we do. It gives you an honest feedback as to whether or not any action is required.
Pests, diseases, deficiencies and weed control all play their part in the profitability and quality of you end product, and there is no substitute for boots on the ground.
Soil Managment
Soil management is the application of operations, practices, and treatments to protect soil and enhance its performance. It includes soil conservation, soil amendment, and optimal soil heath. Pore soil management practices can lead to production and emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) activities that can contribute to N2O emissions include fertilizer usage, irrigation and tillage. All of which are coming under close scrutiny.
Planning & Management
Increasing pressure is being put on land management, focusing hard on bio diversity and sustainable agriculture. This being the case it will focus our attention on future proofing our business to meet the demands of public pressure, while still supplying thew needs of our food markets.
Pesticide Recommendations
It is imperative that we get this right, not only from a crop safety point of view but also from a regulatory aspect. In doing so we comply with all health safety issues with clear and concise recommendations supported by gatekeeper software. All orders can be linked to have the appropriate MAPP numbers.
Rotations
This area is currently giving us a challenge. With the relative demise of OSR, finding a suitable long-term rotation is opening an outside the box thinking strategy.
Compliance
Living within a set of rules is something the we’ve got used to within our industry. Having your agronomist on hand, should you be inspected, offers reassurance. Sentinel linked recommendations offers another back up to complying, adding another layer of assurance
