Philip Wright, independent soil management expert, meets Phil Vickers, farm manager at Raby Estate, County Durham, one of the largest estates in the UK.
The estate is looking to change direction to be more environmentally focused but still commercially viable. Together they discuss the importance of attention to detail when establishing #OilseedRape - including cabbage stem flea beetle #CSFB pressure, robust varieties, vital spring vigour traits, a broader more sustainable rotation to manage grass weeds and the adoption of direct drilling practices.
