 East for our 3rd Farm Walk of 2024 We are linking up with the Oper8 projec
 t as we visit Breckland Organics where we will be hosted by Chris Negus. A
 s many of you will be aware the Brecklands are the lowest rainfall areas i
 n the UK with an average of just 600mm. The area is very sandy with soils 
 typically less than 5% clay making them free draining\, prone to drought\,
  erosion and leaching of nutrient. Whilst easy working they are not fertil
 e. The cereals have a role as both a cash crop but must support the weed m
 anagement of the system to keep the carrots as weed free as possible. The 
 farm has irrigation and has irrigated cereal in some of the recent dry Spr
 ings we've experienced\, a luxury not available to most Chris grows winter
  wheat and spring oats on the Whites contract so we'll look at his crops a
 nd see how the wheat is developing through the early Spring and hopefully 
 the spring oats will be drilled and have emerged. We'll discuss Chris' wee
 d management strategy which is more intensive than many because the carrot
 s are such an important crop in the rotation and hand weeding them is very
  expensive and so the cereals must play their role in keeping weeds out of
  the system to support the carrots. And we’ll be hearing about alternati
 ve weeding strategies the Oper8 project are presenting across their networ
 ks across Europe. Learn more about Breckland Organics by reading their far
 mer profile.
