290 - Wild Thing

In this week’s episode, Andrew ambushes south Norfolk farmer Rob Alexander. Firstly, the pair place their bets on when they think the start of harvest will be. They then take turns to say where they believe the markets are going and discuss in depth, this coming harvests "wild farmed Wheat" as seen on “Clarkson’s Farm”. Andrew elaborates on the ever - growing fear of ergot in the upcoming wheat crop with the abundance of rain we have had recently. We also get an insight as to how “strip till” has changed the way Rob farms these days.
