Introducing Tim May...
We organically farm 1000ha (2500 acres) in North Hampshire, applying a holistic management and enterprise stacking approach. We currently grow organic crops including linseed, gluten-free oats and heritage wheats/grain varieties and look to include beans as an intercrop amongst the cereals.
On the estate we have 480 New Zealand crossbred dairy cows and a mobile milking parlour, integrated into the arable land through temporary herbal leys.
As an organic farm we are interested in naturally occurring soil nutrition and see legumes as a pivotal part of the puzzle.
Anything we can do to improve the reliability and knowledge around legume crops is very welcomed which is why we are keen to support this project.
