‘Land-wise we have a mixture
of everything from sandy loam
to stronger and heavier soil. It’s
good Grade 2 land. We grow
wheat, barley, oilseed rape and
beans. We’re always aiming for
first wheats and can get good
yields of up to 4 tonnes/acre. We
have around 400 acres of winter
wheat growing the varieties JB
Diego and Revelation. We don’t
shop around much as we prefer
to keep things simple going for
barn filling wheats.’
‘All wheat sold off the farm C
goes on a tractor and trailer M
to Noble Foods nearby. We
Y
get a premium for delivery.

Winter barley cropping is
around 500-600 acres with the MY
varieties Volume and Cassia CY
and we feed a lot of it to our CMY
cattle. Barley straw brings in
K
additional revenue and gets
the fields cleared for good
establishment.’
