Over the past winter, Dyson Farming have trialled a range of cover crop species together with Anglian Water and Boston Seeds.

We’re inviting all farmers, growers, agronomists, and industry representatives to join us on Tuesday 30^th May 2023. Here you’ll learn from Dr Tom Storr (Dyson Farming) about the results of our cover crop trials which included large-scale plots covering tilled and no-till land. The plots included five cereals, four clovers, four vetches, four mixtures, three mustards and three radishes.

Kate Smith (ADAS) will also lead a practical session looking at the pros and cons of using companion crops in the rotation, balancing the management, costs, and wider environmental aspects to ensure success.

Date: Tuesday 30 May 2023

Timings: 10.00 am start with refreshments available from 9.30 am. The event will end at 12:30 pm.
