At the beginning the HEAR plots have been protected from the worst ravages of Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle by some protective netting and in the mild autumn temperatures the crop has established well..
WInter Linseed, sown a few weeks after the HEAR, has also established well...
Other plots on display at Cereals include; Spring Linseed, Canary Seed, Naked Oats, Red Wheat and Borage. Further site updates including images of those crop plots will be added to this web page periodically over the coming weeks.
