About
Updates every Sunday, 8am & 7pm Wednesday evening’s from a 1,600 acre arable farm in Lincolnshire UK growing wheat, barley, oil seed rape, sugar beet, beans and oats.
We have a 5 year Countryside Stewardship agreement & so care of the environment & wildlife is hugely important, I often share how we do this with regular feeding & blogs showing the wild flower margins & winter bird food plots.
I am a big believer in partnerships and collaboration and as a result proudly hold McDonald Flagship Farm status, one of only 23 in Europe. I don’t believe in standing still so am always trying something new and show this in my videos, even if there are failures, that’s how we learn. We are also Agrii’s Lincolnshire iFarm which means we conduct lots of trials and have open days where we openly show them in action.
Our machinery is mostly Simba and we have a John Deere 8 RX 410, Puma 225 CVX and JCB Fastrac, New Holland CR9090 combine, Househam 32m sprayer and Manitou 940 telehandler.
