This is the last remaining bit of our wheat from Hope Farm - about 150t apparently.

 

And saleable at c£185/t at the moment.  Close to £30k worth.

A love of the natural world demonstrates that a person is a cultured inhabitant of planet Earth.

  • just discovered this very interesting blog and especially like the farmland birds articles. I'm helping Essex Wildlife Trust to run a 'clinic' on agri-environment schemes on 27th Jan at Hanningfield Reservoir and the RSPB are doing the important work: they mailed the landowners and are providing the advice to farmers. Lets hopethis leads to more adoption of HLS locally and more yellowhammers etc. Do you know if you have all the 16 farms signed-up for the turtle dove research yet, please Mark?
