Wisbech Monitor Farm launch and summer meeting

Join us for the on-farm launch of Wisbech Monitor Farm.

Andrew and Sam Melton look forward to welcoming you to see, hear about and discuss the H Melton & Son business and for you to feed into what you would like to see over the next three years of the programme.

This is your opportunity as a Cambridgeshire, Norfolk or Lincolnshire farmer, agronomist or advisor to get involved in the local Monitor Farm to you.

We will join the Melton’s for a farm walk that will cover:

• Introduction to the farm business, including soil type and cropping
• A look at the machinery and equipment on the farm – costings and set-up
• Grain storage and diversifications for the business
• Catch crop and establishment try-out, which has been taking place since last autumn – what method is showing the best effect so far? What can we learn for the season ahead?

There will also be the opportunity to feed into a SWOT analysis for the business at the beginning of the Monitor Farm journey and to identify key local issues and topics that you would be interested to cover over the next three years.

Andrew, Sam and Teresa look forward to seeing you in June.
