DURHAM FARM TRIALS PUT SOLID SCIENCE INTO BIOLOGICAL FARMING Detailed trials assessing a broad range of regenerative farming strategies on a progressive Durham farm are putting some solid science into efforts to improve arable sustainability by making the very most of above and below-ground biology.
Now into their third season, the Agrii Green Horizons trials with David Hankey on his family’s 160ha Dunkirk Farm, Birtley overlooking Gateshead’s Angel of the North are examining the impact of a wide variety of cover and OSR companion cropping approaches as well as in-field wildlife strips. Indepth assessments are being made of just about everything that can be measured to assess both their specific contributions and, more importantly, the benefits they bring to overall farm sustainability.
