The Wheat Project: Churchill Farm Update

Over the last few weeks the ground has been prepared for the next stage of the Wheat Project. The school would like to extend a massive thank you to parent Richard Jones from Mead Farm for his time, machinery and expertise which has saved us hours of labour!

The Winter wheat has now been sown, along with some experimental bean crops that will add valuable nitrogen to the soil, ready for the spring wheat next year. The students have also been laying a membrane to protect the ground, ready for the planting when the weather warms up in Spring!

We are working closely with Farmlink to help secure funding that will help bring to life some of the other ideas that students have for the site. Watch this space!
