Wow! It’s exciting to share the news of our hedgerow planting project this winter and you’re invited to join in!

They say ‘a change is as good as a rest’ and I certainly agree with that sentiment after my refreshing break away from our farm in the south, to attend a training course held at Racy Ghyll in the north east of the Lake District.

Our crop rotations this year include wheat, spring barley, oilseed rape (OSR), fodder beat, maize, and grass.

Coincidentally, after the workshop, the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) asked if I would make a short educational video about the new Countryside Code and therefore this became the topic of my first movie.

On 16th March 2020 we were nearing the end of spring calving, with just seven calves still to be born.
