One Farm, One Year: August to December
- Synopsis
- Filmed in 2012 ‘One Farm, One Year: August to December’ shows the activities and the machinery used at a farm in Suffolk. The main crops grown are winter wheat, winter and spring barley, oilseed rape and sugar beet. A few beef cattle are also kept.
This programme starts with the wheat harvest, close on the heels of which are cultivations for next year’s crops. The new rape crop is already coming through, and so are the slugs. After a very variable summer the wheat harvest finally ends in early September and a week later Kevin starts drilling next year’s cereals. Drilling, fertilising and spraying are the order of the day until beet lifting from the end of October, during what turned out to be one of the wettest autumns for a hundred years.
During the entire year many ancillary activities are on view including truck loading, crop-drying, drilling maize for game cover, hedge-cutting, ditching and demonstrations of new machinery. - Language
