Meet Mat & Lloyd Smith - Follow a Farmer UK, S1:E1

Mat & Lloyd Smith run Lodesend Drove Farm in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. The 450-acre enterprise has a wide rotation, growing twelve crops, including wheat, barley, potatoes, sugar beet, beans, sunflowers, linseed and millet. In this introductory video, we get to meet the brothers and learn about their wide-rotation of crops on farm. They discuss a number of topics, including their commitment to the environment and connection to the local community, the drainage system around their farm, different soil types, diversification, and a summary on how the cropping year has gone so far during an extremely challenging season. 00:04 Introduction to Mat & Lloyd and crops on farm 01:08 Environment & Sustainability 02:01 Changing farming practices 03:04 Soil types on farm 03:37 Drainage system 04:02 Potatoes 05:10 Diversification - bird seed 06:43 Establishing a good seedbed 07:19 Challenging season 08:08 Weather affecting yields 08:52 Winter beans BASF is cooperating with farmers who during 2024, will share their experiences, challenges, thoughts, and ideas about how to practice efficient agriculture.
