After a challenging autumn and start to the winter, we caught up with six agronomists from different UK regions to discuss how crops are looking and what the next steps might be for growers
Phil Warham has been an agronomist with Agrovista for six years. He gained a degree in Land and Farm Management at Harper Adams and managed farms for several years afterwards. He now advises on combinable crops, cereals, maize and vining peas in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and into Leicestershire. Key interests include direct drilling and soil health, as well as making farms profitable. In his spare time he is a keen runner, cyclist and horseman.
With many farmers experiencing a rebound in grass-weed numbers this year, stubble management will be key to reducing viable seed levels.
