How are worm burdens in stock looking for people at the moment? We did a FEC last night on the ewe lambs and were quite shocked. More than 1000eggs/gram. Read somewhere its a bad season for it due to the dry summer and warm wet autumn. Hoping that's the case as we had no burden last year. How is it for others?
Looking for ideas for remedial action for a 10 acre multicut silage field. Its compacted with a clay cap after just 3 years since reseed. Looking to alter management to avoid compaction issues long term and make a more productive/useful field.
Getting a spade in is hardwork. Very tight. Lots of surface water in a soupy muddy mush on the surface.
Lots of compaction visible beneath soil surface.
Soil is largely dry 12 inches down.

Totally agree with Edward
Only difference I have is subsoiling on my land is not on too many large stones or boulders
My remedy is to use spike roller every year to help airate the land and let the worms do the rest

I think the seasons this year has caused a late worm burden. There has been a need to keep dosing as was the same for us last year.
