North Yorkshire Monitor Farm

Believing that it’s important to share and open up to feedback, Joe is leading by example by joining the Monitor Farm programme.

He sees the next three years as an opportunity to focus on the farm’s short- to medium-term goals.

These include:

• Reducing reliance on artificial inputs through crop health, good rotation and targeting of inputs
• Further reducing cultivations without compromising output – compensating by building SOM and extending the rotation with diverse plant species
• Dealing with drainage infrastructure that is coming to the end of its useful life

Looking to new arable technologies that can help achieve these ambitions where possible.
