Arable farmers/mixed farmers growing herbal leys/cover crops or grass leys as a break and grazing cattle as part of their rotation. Anyone willing for a chat on systems, costings, cash crop yield reductions etc… appreciated greatly for part of my Nuffield Farming study. 🙏


Cover crop trial is up and away! David Hunter AHDB South East Water

It may not be the day for drilling but it’s the perfect day for hearing from Nuffield Farming Scholar Toby Simpson about cover crops, catch crops, and companions. Thanks to Anglian Water for sponsoring…


Today our own soil expert Dr Jenny Bussell was in action at the farm of Toby Simpson. Toby is one of our excellent ClieNFarms farmers, but today we were supporting him as he hosted a cover crops day sponsored by Anglian Water 🤝


Great day hosting a farm walk and talk today looking at the catch and cover crops this year, especially after so much rain this week. Thanks to all who came for some great discussions and to Anglian Water for sponsoring the event. BASE-UK The Allerton Project

What’s at stake for nature in the Autumn Budget? As Rachel Reeves pores over the numbers, here’s what a 20% cut to nature-friendly farming would mean... For a start—an area 3x the size of the Lake District National Park stripped of nature-friendly practices in England. 👇
