Essex – Donald Macaulay
Switching from conventional cultivations to direct strip seeding has brought multiple benefits for Essex farming business I J Macaulay & Sons. Fuel used to establish crops has been reduced by more than 50 per cent, tractor hours are a fraction of what they were, timeliness and soil condition have been significantly improved and headlands are now much more productive, increasing average yields.
