South Notts Monitor Farm: Launch and summer farm walk

There’s a new Monitor Farm for South Notts! Join us at Smite Hill Farm to hear from Grant and Sarah Page about their plans.

As the Bingham Monitor Farm comes to the end of it’s three-year term with AHDB, Joe Fisher will share his closing remarks, learnings and plans he has for the future of Manor Farm, Saxondale.

What we'll cover

• AHDB cover crop trial: Molly Bampton will share insights from the Bedfordshire cover crop trial. This trial has been looking at the benefits of a 2-way vs 10-way mix cover crop, and it’s impacts on soil health, livestock and cash crop performance
• Launching South Notts: Grant and Sarah Page will introduce their farm business, including diversifications, and the challenges they hope to explore and overcome as the next AHDB Monitor Farm for the region
• East Midlands cover crop trials: The South Notts Monitor Farm cover crop trial will begin in Autumn 2026, aiming to produce accurate margins for both field and financial performance when growing and grazing cover crops ahead of spring crops

Event details
