We believe that Farming well is quite simple, if we look after the fundamentals well as listed below then we will produce a good crop and a good return:

SOIL

At the foundation of the farming system and as such a failure in its integrity means a failure in the performance of your farm. B&C Farming consider carefully the planning and execution of several factors including cultivations, rotation and use of inputs to ensure that soil health continues to improve, soil organic matter and nutrients providing a significant long term benefit to farmland productivity. Accurate application of organic manure is paramount and we analyse the compost regularly. We farm the land like we’re going to farm it forever.

CROPS

Offering a broad and strict rotation of crops, notably the seed potatoes in our portfolio can provide not only balance for the land but also good returns. B&C Farming Ltd have a strong portfolio of customers who recognise the quality of cereals grown by the company, B&C Farming grow a significant portion of the UK’s seed crop of the winter barley, and brewers favourite, Maris Otter.

WATER

A resource of paramount importance, B&C Farming Ltd have expertise to execute successful water management on your farm. This can be through planning and organisation of irrigation or taking on big projects like building reservoirs. Effective and efficient use of water is integral from not only a cost but also an environmental perspective.

ENVIRONMENT, CONSERVATION & SPORT

We recognise the need to maintain and enhance the potential of our contracted land beyond core agriculture, we include work on this aspect of the farm as a key part of our contract farming service.
