Resilient rotations: maximising the value from spring and break crops

Many spring and break crops are often perceived to be more difficult to grow or less commercially viable on farm. Typically used after challenging autumns and to spread on-farm workload, they can also be a tactical choice used to provide agronomic benefits such as nutrient capture, improved soil health, reduced disease, weed and pest pressure, and better yields for following crops.

However, with the right agronomy expertise, quality seed and market access, they can open up additional revenue streams too.

In this panel session, experts from Frontier’s seed, strategy and grain trading teams will discuss the ways growers can build more resilience and profitability into their rotations using spring and break crops – with a particular focus on the commercial opportunities available for beans, spring barley and oilseed rape
