In this episode, Grant talks with Simon Revell from Claydon Drills about their expertise and interest in improving soil health for growers through better establishment using the Claydon Opti-Drill System.

Also being discussed and explored is the ongoing trials work with Sea2Soil on Claydon Farms, now coming to the end of its second year, including the latest observations from this season before harvest.

Finally, Simon gives listeners a fascinating insight into soil management, the health of soils and climate challenges faced on farms right across Europe.

The audio and video podcast will give listeners and viewers a great technical understanding of how establishment technology in the Claydon system, incorporating the use of a straw harrow, alongside soil improvers like Sea2Soil, can help improve vital aspects around soil structure, soil organic matter and soil fertility. Leading to better crop nutrition and yields, as well as protecting crops against adverse growing conditions.

In this first episode, Grant James talks with soil consultant and tillage expert and Director of Soil First Farming, Steve Townsend, about how building carbon and soil biology is the key for good conservation agriculture. Steve also gives a useful insight into some of the main issues with soils in the UK at this time in terms of their overall health for supporting crops, and discusses some of the tests and assessments farmers should be looking to do more routinely with their soils.

Steve also talks briefly about his involvement with BASE-UK, a farmer-led knowledge exchange organisation for growers interested in regenerative agriculture and the sustainability of soil health. Steve’s interest is in advising and helping growers throughout the UK improve their soils to produce better crops, using the crucial principles of getting soil chemistry, soil physics and soil biology correct and working to complement each other for good soil management.
