Hertfordshire – Madeleine Palmer
“The fact that the Claydon enables us to establish a crop in a couple of passes – the first with a straw harrow to distribute chaff evenly and disturb slugs – has cut our establishment time considerably, and we can cover 20ha/day in oilseed rape and 12ha/day in wheat, working between other farm/livery duties. With our other enterprises and our lack of staff, we simply wouldn’t have time to plough all our ground and then work it down and drill it.”
