What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A trial farm partnership in Codford tested a grazing approach using sheep on wheat and oilseed rape crops. This approach, which was catalyzed by Helix and Hutchinsons, is reportedly resulting in cleaner crops and more resilient soils for JM Stratton & Co. The business is now rolling out this policy across its entire arable acreage.
