Arable

Over the past 40 years the arable enterprise of the farm has grown steadily to become the primary activity of the business today.  In its early days its purpose was to serve the beef and sheep enterprise in providing straw and rolled barley, with any surplus’s sold on the open market.

Today, the grain is all sold through grain merchants who market our produce based on variety and the quality we attain in that year.  Our cropping rotation currently consists of Winter Wheat, Spring Barley, Grass Leys and Oilseed Rape.  Our aim is to achieve consistent yields year after year through careful management of the soil, inputs and cultivation techniques.
