All about carrots - Follow a Farmer UK, Rodger Hobson S1:E1

Rodger Hobson is the UK’s ‘king of carrots’. As well as being Chairman of the British Carrot Growers Association, he grows over 33,000 tonnes of carrots each year on his family farm near York. Due to pests and disease, he can only grow carrots once every ten years in any field, so alongside the carrots there’s wheat, barley, oilseed rape, potatoes, red beet, turf and maize. In this first video, we join Rodger to find out all about his farm. He gives us an overview of what it takes to produce one of the Nation’s favourite vegetables at scale, discusses the crop’s biggest enemy (Carrot Fly), and shares the impact of the recent weather. 0:00 Rodger and his farm 0:57 The carrot enterprise 2:03 Weather and its impacts 2:34 Growing carrots – soils, water management and rotations 3:17 Carrots you buy 3:28 Science of carrots and their pests 4:12 Carrot variety - Nairobi 4:53 The season so far 5:24 Harvesting and processing carrots 5:39 Carrots and supermarket prices 6:29 Highs and lows of farming carrots BASF is cooperating with farmers who during 2024, will share their experiences, challenges, thoughts, and ideas about how to practice efficient agriculture.
