Organic Arable member hails a fine harvest

Congratulations to Carl Gray on his yields as declared in last weeks Farmer's Weekly article.

Interesting to see Invicta doing so well. Claire has been a mainstay of organic wheat production for a number of years as it has performed consistently well in trials. Perhaps Invicta is set to topple it but remember this is one year on one farm and quite an extreme year in terms of weather.

Let's hope Invicta can perform well in future years to help improve organic yields more broadly.  Was the care and attention Carl gave to growing a seed crop responsible for the additional yield or is the variety itself that much better?   Perhaps Carl could share with us all how he managed it
