Bi-cropping: what future for more diverse rotations?
Ian Matts (Brixworth Farming), Henry Tyrrell (Winwick Manor Farm)
There’s increasing interest in the practice of growing more than one crop in the same field, at the same time. In September, the Allerton Project organised an event to explore this method, with two farmers from our Climate Neutral Farms (ClieNFarms) project giving insight into their experiences. In this video, Ian introduces us to his clover understorey companion crop, while Henry shares his experience in bi-cropping peas and oats and establishing living mulches.
This event was part of the Climate Neutral Farming Project.
ClieN Spring Event 2024
In May the Allerton Project organised a 2-day Spring Event in Northamptonshire, where we visited three of the lead commercial farms (LCFs) involved in the project.
At Winwick Manor Farm Henry Tyrrell introduced the group to his 200 hectares (ha) mixed farming operation of beef, sheep and combinable crops, with a 50/50 split between the arable and grassland area.
