It’s a lovely summers day with blue sky and a nice temperature just like what we used to call it
We are a new winter bean grower, having always grown (usually good) crops of spring beans. I thought I would try some on some slightly lighter, earlier ground but what I've learned is that winter beans will drought off just as readily as springs.

How this is built
CropIntel ingests posts daily from active arable forums on The Farming Forum. Each post is scored twice, once by a hand-curated UK-agri lexicon (deterministic), once by a frontier LLM with a one-line rationale, and the two scores are blended with weight toward the LLM. Out-of-season posts (no agronomic signal) are excluded rather than averaged in. The page above is rebuilt every morning from the latest daily aggregate. Full methodology.
The system that produces this pulse (the curated corpus, the model, and the public track record) is available to acquire. See the opportunity.
