Combinable

Alongside, (and complimentary to) the production of root crops, we are growing spring oats (200 hectares) and spring barley (200 hectares).

We allocate the oats for milling (cereal bars) and the barley for malting (lager production), and export a good proportion.

The spring cropping of these crops is an essential part of our rotation. We drill using all of our own seed and sell the surplus on the open market.

We have a modern grain store with excellent handling and storage capacity. Our team dries all of our grain within 24 hours of harvest.

The whole farm is now covered by the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme. This means that we are no longer grow and harvest legumes. We allow a 1-2 year fallow mix to mature naturally within our rotation. This delivers many benefits to the farm.
