We grow a variety of combinable crops, carefully selected to balance soil health, productivity, and sustainability:
Feed Wheat
A key crop suited to our soils and climate, primarily used for animal feed and some varieties for biscuit making. Most is drilled (sown) in the autumn.
Milling Wheat
Used in flour production, our milling wheat is grown with quality and precision, ensuring high-quality grain suitable primarily for brea in the food industry.
Barley (Feed and Malting)
Mostly malting varieties are part of our diverse cropping system. Our malting barley is especially valued by the local brewing industry. We drill the malting barley in the spring.
Oats
Grown mostly for human consumption such as oat milk and breakfast cereals. Oats play an important role in our crop rotation, diversifying production as a spring drilled crop. It breaks some diseases that build up in other cereals.
Oilseed Rape (OSR)
The earliest drilled crop in the summer, the seeds are used for both edible oil and as a renewable biofuel source. Pest challenges are mitigated as far as possible by growing a companion crop between the rows of OSR, which attracts cabbage stem flea beetles from the OSR.
Field Beans
Nitrogen-fixing field beans improve soil health while providing a high-protein feed for livestock, and for human consumption. The crop which reaches the required quality standard for human consumption is mostly exported to the Middle East. Their inclusion in our crop rotation promotes soil health and reduces input costs.
