This is how we roll

The cropping at Mill Farm is generally made up of combinable crops such as milling wheat, feed wheat, oilseed rape, oats and beans. The produce of the farm is sold to Bartholomews of Chichester who market the grain depending on its quality.

Andrew is a BASIS and FACTS qualified agronomist, we also use an agronomist from Bartholomews to give an up-to-date opinion based on knowledge gained from other farms and trials.
Generally we opt not to plough fields and where possible utilise a Sumo Trio, that breaks through the subsoil mixes the top few inches of soil and then rolls behind to leave it ready for drilling seed. Sussex Agri Power then come and drill all the crops utilising the very latest six metre combination drill. This allows for a rapid coverage of ground and a very even germination of all seeds across the farm.

The farm has many different soil types even within an individual field therefore this mix of cultivation and establishment works well.
All crops are then stored and marketed under the Assured Combinable Crops Scheme and audited every year.
