Beverley Monitor Farm

Will Jones is the farm manager at Hall Farm, one of the four farms making up Albanwise Farming Ltd. Will is responsible for 2000 ha at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, 1900 ha of which is in arable rotation, which includes wheat, winter barley, oilseed rape, spring barley, peas, forage maize, ware potatoes and spring beans. The remaining land is a 100-ha wetland created 10 years ago. 

A min-till system is generally employed across the farm, but flexibility with cultivations is needed to accommodate the diverse rotation. The whole farm is in the SFI arable soils intermediate standard with multi-species cover crops grown ahead of spring crops.
