Why one farmer is growing no-till maize to benefit soil

摘要

No two years are the same in farming, as Max Tite's experience of growing maize with minimal soil disturbance shows.Mr Tite farms at Newmans Farm, near Stur-minster Newton, Dorset, with his parents, Elizabeth and Paul, where they produce milk from 1 a herd of autumn-calving Holstein-Friesians.High-quality forage underpins their approach to milk production, and central to that is maize. An average of 77ha (190 acres) > is grown annually.
