For north Somerset milk producer Jon Bult, growing a very early maturing variety of maize allows him to maximise his use of overwinter cover crops which deliver soil health benefits and an SFI payment. Maize forms the basis of the ration for the 700-cow herd at Collum Farm as it consistently provides a high energy forage which contributes to yields of over 12,000 litres per lactation for the herd’s Holstein Friesians, and over 7,000 litres for the herd’s pure Jerseys.

LG Beowulf – the highest yielding wheat on the 2024-25 AHDB Recommended ListRon Granger shares his views on what the variety offers and where it fits on farm:When breeders cross two varieties, we know what we want to accomplish with regards to the complimentary attributes both parent varieties offer – genetically and agronomically – in the progeny.

When I think about it, going to see a show about dead people who coexist with a demon and haunt their own home sounds like quite a downer for a Wednesday night. However, with Broadway’s BEETLEJUICE directed by Alex Timbers, that just isn’t the case. The writing of Scott Brown and Anthony King along with music and lyrics from Eddie Perfect turned this “show about death” into an evening of hilarity. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was excited as soon as I saw the stage.

Maximising the milk produced from homegrown feed is the overriding aim for Cornish dairy farmer Richard Martin, not least because it is his surest route to profit. With 1,000 high yielding cows on an autumn block calving system at Trethick Farm near Bodmin, Richard Martin relies on maize as the major energy source in the herd’s total mixed ration, with it making up 75% of the forage component during the period of peak lactation.
