Our neighbour and valued customer Sarah Bell here explaining all the great things about wheat that lured our MD into this job 18 years ago. A wonderful video from Nabim

In animal feeds and AD feedstocks ADF/NDF/Lignin and cellulose are important parameters. Over in Gerhardt corner in the lab we were recently pleased to welcome Gerhardt to talk about fibre testing. C. Gerhardt UK Ltd.

Some things don't NEED to come to a lab. "Does my sample of wheat have any bugs in it?" Yes. Yes it does. And this little guy was having so much of a party that he died of excitement whilst munching away on your wheat.

There aren’t all that many roles for a John Deere in a laboratory if we’re honest…. But holding some sweet peas to brighten the place up is something that John Deere do well. Anaero Technology John Deere #BMP, #laboratory, #biogas, #anaerobicdigestion.

Come and see us at World Biogas Expo at the NEC. We’ve got some cool struvite samples and loads to talk about. You can find us on stand E63. #WorldBiogas #Expo

Harvest 2024. Don’t forget to come and get your moisture meter calibrated. I swear, kids these days are naturals with technology! Rory knows how to work a protimeter so I left him to it! hashtag #harvest #harvest2024 #grainlab #childsplay

Spot the blackgrass margin between the actual margin and the crop. Areas like this that are missed by the sprayer are a significant cause of resistance in blackgrass populations. This will spread and become very difficult to control in around 3 years time. If you’ve got these patches then you should try to remove the seed heads from the field and destroy them. Ideally spray the patches off before the first week of June. #agronomy #blackgrass #cereals #farming #arable #farming #science

SFI and soil testing. Everyman man and his son out there are testing their soil so we’ve got these things all over the lab now. If we’re a little slow please bear with us as you’re all doing it at once!

International Barley Hub These displays at cereals were really interesting. We’ve seen a resurgence in heritage varieties in recent years but one of them never really went away…. And that was Maris Otter. It’s stayed the distance. One local farm has been growing it for over 50 years father and son. #malting #jameshutton #barley #cereals2024 #ukgrainlab #heritagegrains
