Blankney Farm Update – 26 July 2024

Our combinable crop harvest is imminent and we’re not sure if we’re confident about yields – let’s hope we’re pleasantly surprised!
Grass and Lucerne drying continues and we are now coming out of the ‘rapid growing period’; grass and Lucerne now slow down, with cutting intervals extending, but with an increase in quality for chlorophyll extraction.
Irrigation has been stop-start with continued spells of heavy rain. I am sure when we get into wheat, the rain will return!
Finally, eagle eyed visitors to this weekend’s Heckington Show will spot our Fibre Feeds banner inside the Main Ring; for more information about our high-fibre ruminant feeds, please do give us a call on 01522 810264, or make an enquiry on fibre.feeds@blankney.com.
