Ahead of #ORFC24 session on Grain Lab Museum of Oxford Museum Makers Space 2pm, read Jake (Steven Jacobs) blog steressing the opportunities of seed breeding programmes offering more genetic diversity & grower control than those currently dominating the industry ow.ly/y8Yh50Qk7gA

Thrilled to be at #ORFC 2024 as the official media partners! Kicking off the conference with a fascinating session on UPOV and farmer seed systems with Ruth Segal from CAFOD, Angus Lam from GRAIN, Ruth Bergen from Transform Trade and Shamila Rathnasooriya from MONLAR 🫘

Oak Farm Population wheat created by Edward Dickin - 17 crosses between modern milling varieties and heritage landraces giving huge diversity for field and loaf! Encouragingly prostrate start in our Livewheat Legacy trial for Organic Arable and Organic Research Centre #organic

Great trials for scoring crown rot resistance in CAIGE wheat lines at the LongReach Plant Breeders trial site in SA. Definitely getting a hard finish here on a challenging soil profile.

Strip cropping polyculture trial Harper Adams University using HandsFreeHectare & Farm technology coming up. Bit of flooding at far end. Clover-wheat system is KWS Extase and my Oak Farm Population

Come and do a PhD ⁦Harper Adams University⁩ and solve the challenge of growing potatoes while protecting soil #regen #soilhealth #regen ag ctp-sai.org/projects-for-2…

Pretty dramatic CAIGE trials showing the value of plant height in drought stress environments. Only 80mm of in-season rain and on the really thin sandy soils of WA
