Field vegetable production

In the final episode of the BASIS Agronomy Matters Podcast for 2020 we are focusing on field vegetable production as we look at how your Christmas dinner vegetables go from field to fork. Greg Hopkinson, head of business development and marketing at BASIS, speaks to two guests about the challenges 2020 has brought, the demands of retailers and how Brexit might impact the field vegetable industry.

First up is Andy Richardson, general manager and agronomist at the Brassica and Allium Centre in Lincolnshire. Andy shares his expertise on the conventional production and storage of a number of field vegetable crops.

We then hear from Joe Rolfe, managing director at RBOrganic, a large scale organic producer based in the East of England. Joe gives a unique insight into organic vegetable production and the specific challenges that he faces in the sector.
