This is a unique four-part DVD series
looking in-depth at the farming year at Clopton Green Farm, an
East Anglian arable farm. Detailed attention is given to crops
and agronomy as well as machinery, cultivations and every aspect
of modern farming.
Farm-manager Steven Offord explains his decisions and the
reasoning behind them. Structured in seasonal order, the series
encompasses everything from cultivations through to maintenance
work. Crop walks keep the viewer up to date with progress
throughout the year.
Crops grown include wheat, spring barley, oilseed rape, sugar
beet and spring beans. The wide range of machinery used is
predominantly from the AGCO stable with Challenger, MF and Fendt
tractors represented, along with John Deere. All action is
captured comprehensively using unique camera angles.
This groundbreaking series will appeal to everyone interested in
or involved with agriculture.
Part one deals with spring cultivations and the
drilling of barley, beans and sugar beet. Fertiliser
applications, weed control and the first fungicide applications
are also carried out.
Extra Feature: Sprayer walk-around
Part two continues the story with fertiliser
applications and spraying as well as covering ancillary
activities. Harvest starts with the oilseed rape, and already
work begins to prepare the land for the following crop.
Extra Feature: Archive footage
Part three begins with the wheat harvest,
followed by the barley and beans and establishment and
subsequent care of next year’s oilseed rape. Primary and
secondary cultivations are also carried out for cereal crops.
Extra Feature: Beet harvester walk-around
Part four concludes the story with wheat
drilling, cultivations and preparation for next year’s spring
crops, autumn herbicide applications, sugar beet harvesting and
establishing wheat after beet.
