Since winning the title of Farmers Weekly Environmental Farmers of the Year, Emma and James Loder-Symonds have been busy trialling the impact of grazing cover crops.

The cover crop trial took place in conjunction with Southern Water, AHDB and FWAG South East.

It involved establishing a crop of kale, stubble radish, linseed, red clover and phacelia in late August after harvest, which was then overwintered and grazed from 1 November.
