The Hottest Day of the Year… What Does It Mean for Farming Profitability?

This week we film through the hottest day of the year so far, taking a closer look at how the heat is affecting crop progress and what it could mean for the profitability of farming this season. We check in on the wheat and barley as conditions continue to dry out, discuss whether it’s simply too hot to concrete effectively, and explain the long-term thinking behind continued investment in infrastructure around the farm. Alongside the crop updates, there’s ongoing work repairing broken corners around the yard, dealing with bank holiday fly tipping, seeding grassed areas and moving machinery with the low loader. We also take a look inside a classic 1980s Mercedes and continue improvements to one of the farm houses. A real snapshot of farming during a hot, dry spell where every weather change can have a major impact on the season ahead.

Inside Syngenta’s Test Farm. Hybrid Wheat, Biologicals & Sustainable Farming

In this episode we visit one of Syngenta’s major agricultural test sites at the Allerton Project, exploring the research and field trials helping shape the future of farming. We take a look at trials involving hybrid wheat, biological products, drainage systems and soil management, while discussing one of the biggest questions facing modern agriculture, what does sustainability in farming actually mean? Along the way we explore whether cattle could play a larger role in replacing artificial fertiliser, debate whether ploughing still has a place in modern systems, and see how researchers are measuring gas release and soil compaction in the field. We also discuss the regulations surrounding biological products, how commercial partners support agricultural research, and what it’s really like managing a working farm that also acts as a large-scale test site. A fascinating insight into the science, trials and difficult decisions shaping the future of UK agriculture.
