Harvest 2022

In 2022 we have harvested 73 Acres and produced 127 metric tonnes of Group 1 Bread making wheat of the Mulika variety.

2022 has been an exceptionally dry year and the lack of rainfall in July led to a lower yield and earlier harvest.

We are utilising the 'Low Input' cereal option under Countryside Stewardship (AB14) so we are happy with the average of 1.73 ton/acre.

As the Yield maps show, there is significant deer damage to large parts of the margins of the crops (red) showing that we need to continue culling the Fallow deer

June 2022 - we sowed Lower Hartmoor with Winter Birdfood mix

July - Good establishment of the winter bird food (AB9)

August 2022 - Lime delivery for spreading as required

Late August - Fledgling barn owl (one of 2 chicks)

Winter Birdfood margin - Upper Hartmoor
