Nick awarded Grower/Manager of the year 2022-23

Nick has been commended for his commitment to improvement, experimentation and collaboration with researchers, agronomists and other growers to find sustainable and resilient solutions in the sector. Farming 395 acres of potatoes in Shropshire, his collaborations have included two Innovative Farmers field labs – one on trap cropping to reduce potato cyst nematode and another exploring alternative control of wireworm. An organic farmer, integrated pest management and selecting blight-resistant varieties are core to his business.
