Fertiliser screening

We have hired a screener at 140 tonnes per hour. We will screen the Fibrophos ready to apply to farm land to improve the nutrients in the soil. Screener works to 20mm. 

JCB loading shovel

Our loading shovel has arrived for loading fertiliser, sugar beet and grain. 

Bucket supplied for fertiliser from BAC. 

Farmers view

The view from my mobile office for the day. 

3.996 tonne to the ha average so far. Mixed results on oils. The price is shocking. 

Expansion of the fleet arrives

Six new lorries and seven new trailers have arrived to join our existing fleet. Happy days. Looking forward to a large harvest. 

Laboratory quality training day

Nicky Lockey from Frontier very kindly came to train us for grain analysis and operating the laboratory machinery. 

Constant training and reviewing our procedures. 

Harvest 2014 has started

Started at Scotland farm on the oil seed rape in cherrytree field. 

Footpaths

Cambridgeshire county council has cut the funding for cutting the grass on the footpaths. We hired a tractor and flail to cut the public footpaths and permissive paths across our land so the local public can enjoy the countryside.
