Farm Walk at Grange Farm

Join us for this Farm Walk Event

Hosted by Carl Gray at Grange Farm, near Tewkesbury, come join us for the first of this season's farm walk programme.

We are trying to build the sense of "community" amongst our members to foster sharing, learning and relationships. 

The main theme of this event will be Winter crops and weed control, though anything you'd like to discuss on the day can be included. Late Feb is a good time to see the end of the crop foundation phase where the scene has been set for what's to come for the rest of the growing season. It's also a great time, weather permitting, to use mechanical weeding to give crops a head start leading into Spring.

Topics for discussion will include;

Crop establishment

• Drilling Dates

• Seed rates

• Spatial arrangement (row spacings)

• Varieties

• Grazing cereals

• Crop/weed dynamics

• Weed communities

• Mechanical weed control     

We will also have a chance to look at the LiveWheat Legacy winter wheat trials Carl has drilled and anything else attendees are interested in looking at on the farm.
