Our mission is to accelerate the transition towards regenerative farming and sustainable food systems by providing space and opportunity for inspirational education, innovative research, practitioner-led knowledge exchange events and personal development.
The farm is a diverse mix of low input arable and temporary grass, and organic permanent pasture. Our trial plots include blocks of sainfoin, herbal ley, barley, heritage wheat, wild bird seed and various cover crops. The grassland is managed by mob grazed sheep.
At the heart of FarmED are two impressive eco-buildings - one providing space for conferences, lectures, workshops and special events; and the other a farm to fork kitchen and food space, and a regenerative business incubator.
Our audience includes local communities, schools, universities, researchers, farmers, new entrants, foodies, businesses, environmental groups and policy makers.

Hello, great video. Where can I get the heritage wheat seed mix from? I would like to grow my own wheat. I am in North Wales. Also, how many loaves of bread can I get from a square metre on it roughly and how much do I need to sow roughly? Thank you
Congratulation for your job!
I think a disc type drill would have cut through the trash, those times are going to block up every time.
Tines not times.
Bravo! 👍👍👍
Good video until you started talking about the climate change hoax. The climate is always changing.
Great! 🌱💚
The original anti-plough activist used a modified (weighed down, well-oiled) disk harrow. Wonder if weighing down the roller-crimper even further would help with the kill rate. On a garden scale, I'd jump or dance on it.
Is it getting to be as tall as you expected? apart from the seeds, is any other part of the plant useful as fodder, say? And how much will it have to be fed, do you think?
UK made 1982 Perkin mf 240 135 mf ❤🎉❤🎉❤ Never made by again England model Brand🎉❤
This guy's great. I saw him on Countryfile.
a sickle mower would get the job done, then use a no till disk drill, hoe drills plug too easily.
How did CZcams know I have an interest in soil!? Ps: lighting?
Growing a large amount of different heritage varieties in the same field is an odd choice if you are using a harvester and it's not animal feed. The moisture content and ripeness will have a larger variation and make it difficult to harvest effectively. It's hard enough with a single variety if the field doesn't turn at the same time.
Thanks for sharing ❤
The video is missing some critical points. I grew a side by side plot comparison between a wheat from the 1800s and a modern wheat with no inputs. The 1800s wheat out yielded the new wheat by 300%.
How?
@@SebNutter because the new varieties are designed to be used with inputs. there are a lot of varieties of grain that were better than now. Flax is one of them.
Excellent.
Is it not possible to plough in the herbal leys like a green manure as opposed to relying on livestock to graze it?
Very interesting. A deep dive.
Beautiful!
Another brilliant interview and further bright young minds courtesy of Exeter University.
Watching this on Boxing Day so I am playing catch up. I love the variety of topics on discussion here within these podcasts. Happy Christmas to all at FarmEd and best wishes, Tony
The heritage wheat did not produce that much 100 years ago as yours did now. 20 bu/ac was a good yield then compared to 100+
stumbled upon your site a few days ago and love it, when I was looking at going into farming in 70's, farming was farming, and forestry was forestry. I didn't continue my dream of a move to farming due to "challenging" work experience on intensive arable unit, but have continued to follow farming. I love the current blend of stewardship and eco projects as part of a balanced farm unit. would love to win the lottery and be able to take this approach on my own unit.
We need a Farm Ed in Berkshire but not only that, Farm Education Centres in every county in the UK.
❤ I do the same in Vietnam and hope everything will be alright!
Buenos días , soy agricultor de leñosos y creo que la vida la da la alimentación idónea de la tierra y así las plantas leñosas tienen más fortaleza y nutrirse bien La tierra es fuente de vida
Green house gas? Really?? You want to further that agenda? Could you have been lied to?
Go team SandyHill.
if you count kilocalories from petroleum needed to produce food via industrial methods, it works out that it takes more energy to produce the food than the food contains. so it's a net loss of energy. I'm not sure that any kind of farming can produce food for 8 + billion people without destroying the environment, but i am pretty sure that the way we're going now is NOT working. Best solution would be to voluntarily reduce family size, and voluntarily produce as much food, fiber and energy / power as possible in your own community. my 2 cents.
Nah. With regenerative agriculture you can get rid of all the pesticides and fertilizers and produce more bushels the acre and far more calories because the livestock numbers (for cover crop management), will quadruple.
Also if all families had a little garden to grow veges and a few dedicated to growing the bread for local areas there would never be food shortages or problems, there was a study done where a bunch of families got chickens from a government and egg sales dropped profits in the hundreds of thousands
Source?
Here’s a thought, Ukraine’s 10% of global wheat production is unavailable right now and a number of the world’s poorest nations are facing the possibility of starvation! Can you imagine what would happen if 50% of the worlds wheat suddenly disappeared off the market? I guess we could clear more land to grow new acres of the old unproductive wheat, but where does that leave the environment? I say bigger yields to feed a hungry world and use up less land! Klaus

Great man ❤
Love it!
Really interesting to see this. I enjoyed hearing everyone's views and seeing how passionate they all are to make changes and to make people around them aware of what needs to be done. Very inspiring.
Very informative podcast. I hope to be an author for them one day.
The best video I've found on the topic so far, especially to understand the acreage and output differences. I would love to be able to compare product differences (e.g. comparing loaves of bread or other baked goods) but in general, I think we have lost so much by ignoring heritage wheat varieties. There used to be hundreds that were better suited for different climates. I also wanted to note that height difference. So many now would consider that a waste, but back in the day, that extra straw was extremely useful to have. Modern wheat varieties are less than half as tall in many cases which on a small scale (especially homestead) setting is actually less useful overall.
Absolutely fantastic idea. Love talking regenerative business models.

This is a fantastic initiative which is really inspiring to young people. Go FarmED!
What the song call you use, very well know
Nice videos

This is super interesting! Is this technique for reducing nitrogen requirements unique to wheat and clover, or could it be replicated with any other crop?
This looks suspiciously like organic farming to me, maybe time to sign up with S.A .At least we know it works.
Allways interesting to listen to George Monbiot ❗
I read of this technique in humas and the farmer by Friend Sykes,published in the 1950s,he called it Sheet composting. I am currently trialling it with winter wheat..My father sead, deep ploughing is a mistake, He described it as burying your fertility, all the action is in the top 6 inches. The more I study soil science, the more this makes sense. And no roundup.
What about terra preta?
Very nice gardan

If you guys would just figure out how to actually make a drill 😁
