01989 764328 HOME ABOUT OUR DIVISIONS SEASONAL WORK NEWS CONTACT ARABLE ARABLE SOFT FRUIT POULTRY TOP FRUIT Arable Farming We have 2 bases for our arable farming operation, Homme Farm, Ross on Wye and also Wootton St Lawrence in Hampshire. Homme Farm We grow arable crops across approx. 1000ha. This includes our own farm and various others that we manage or rent under differing agreements. The main crop within this is Potatoes and we specialise in growing chipping varieties either on contract for the major processors or through other outlets for the chip shop trade. We also grow other combinable crops like Wheat, Barley, and Oilseed Rape. The arable farm also undertakes the establishment tasks for the soft fruit enterprises. Hampshire We specialise in growing combinable and energy crops over approximately 2,200 hectares across three different estates of varying soil type. The variety of soil types we farm in Hampshire enable us to grow a variety of different crops across a wide rotation to boost biodiversity whilst maintaining yields and maximising returns to the land owner. We pride ourselves on using the latest technology to boost returns both in field operations and also through management processes. The farm operates the very latest machinery to achieve timeliness across the large farmed area to ensure that crops reach their greatest yield potential. The farming operation currently centres around a strip tillage system to improve soil conditions whilst also reducing fixed costs. To ensure flexibility around the different crops we also operate both plough-based and minimum-tillage systems to provide us options in all conditions. The farm has also made the decision to move to liquid fertiliser across all three estates in an attempt to improve efficiency and accuracy across the 36m tramlines. All equipment uses RTK guidance systems to maximise productivity of both machinery and labour.
