Excited to be presenting results from the SHOWCASE project and Agroforestry Group this month!

Our farm trials across England have shown cover crops can increase earthworms by 65% in the following cash crops! AND agroforestry promotes worms too, especially in drought years 😎

Hope to see you there!🌾
We’re delighted to host The Green Farm Collective Regen Farming Conf #GFC25 @ Overbury this year the theme is ‘Soil to Slice’ 🌾🐑🐖🍞🥪🍕

“One of the biggest threats to 🇬🇧 agricultural industry is doing a trade deal with Donald Trump.”

“If anyone thinks the brexiteers are on the side of the farmers, I think you’re in cloud cuckoo land!”
