Been to see a small arable farm (38.88ha cropable) in Dorset, the land has been farmed by a Tennant diary farmer who's been using the land for whole crop possibly back to back. The
Winter wheat they have planted is showing signs of what look like Phosphorus deficiency, Would this be a long term problem with the ground or can it be rectified?
Its a slightly acidic clay soil with impeded drainage and a lot of flint whilst also showing signs of rain run off and capping.
What could I do to revitalise the land and make it more productive and how could I generate an profit from 38.88 ha?
Would be grateful to hear ideas, no idea of rotation or yields.
Thanks
