Hutchinsons Head of Agroecology Services Ed Brown has seen great soil health improvement in this field at March House Farm! - Timeline of the field: April 21 - First picture, severely compacted, black grass infested, VESS score 4/5 Sept 21 - Ploughed, gypsum, hybrid winter barley July 22 - FYM applied with more gypsum. Multi species cover crop drilled Winter 22 - Sheep grazed March 23 - Direct drilled spring beans May 23 - Second picture. VESS 1/2, water infiltration remarkable given recent rain, black grass levels very low. Hard to believe it’s the same field! There’s nothing revolutionary here, just a clear understanding of the issues and the excellent execution of a solid plan. If seeing this has you interested, learn more about our Agroecology services here: hlhltd.co.uk/our-services/ag… #EastMidsAgronomy

Late night thoughts- If our main 2players @asda & @tesco won’t #BackBritishFarming and hence not let the consumer #buybritish and champion our high standards @DefraGovUK place on us, surely @KemiBadenoch needs to open up some opportunities before we lose an entire industry 🤔🐖

Are you a farmer that has a problem with black grass? Please could you spare 5 minutes to fill in my survey on utilising monoculture and polyculture cover crops for the control of black grass. Please share and retweet. Thanks 🌾👍🏻 #covercrops #blackgrass harper-adams.onlinesurveys.a…
