Happy New Year!
The first section, of 1km worth, of hedgelaying due to be done in the next couple of years. Still some gapping up to be done.

@loweroddfarm We had a hail storm pass through mid afternoon but only for 5 minutes or so. I could see wetter weather passing to the west from the hill I was on, the river ofter splits the weather.

[CrowmarshBattleFarms @BattleFarms]

Rolling in some direct drilled spring beans today, finally some progress being made.

[CrowmarshBattleFarms @BattleFarms]

@loweroddfarm We've had a bit of sun and strong winds the last couple of days but still have ground too wet to entertain planting yet.

[CrowmarshBattleFarms @BattleFarms]

Available soon.

We had a great day yesterday with #Wessex Farm Conservation Cluster presenting on 'Water Management in an Unpredictable Climate' (how apt!) 🌧 Discussions incl. #soilhealth, reducing #flooding impact, management of pesticides & yard runoff.
Thank you to our hosts @BattleFarms 🙏

After 11 weeks and four days #harvest2023 is finished under blue skies and sunshine. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to get the harvest in, some long nights and many times grabbing an hour or two between the rain.

For those wondering what the giant ramp on the edge of one of our fields a couple of years ago was for! (about 2:50 in)

So excited to share what we’ve been working on. #MissionImpossible

[CrowmarshBattleFarms @BattleFarms]

Today we had all the trailers tested by Merit Inspections to test all the breaks using a rolling road.
