Growing potatoes with excellent taste characteristics was the starting point for Jeroen Klompe's eight-year journey to improve his soil, and his management of it within a potato rotation.Farming 368ha of arable land in Hoekschewaard, south of Rotterdam, Netherlands, he grows 12 different potato varieties across 85ha for baking, baby, fresh retail and food service markets. The diverse rotation also includes red onions, shallots, green protein crops such as kidney beans, brown beans and soya, and combinable crops including winter and spring wheat, buckwheat, oats, oilseed rape and flax, plus grass for seed.
