We apologise for the short notice but it has once again been an extreme and unpredictable year for arable farming. The recent heatwave has meant the maize crop has matured suddenly and farmers are starting harvest up to 8 weeks earlier than usual.
As a result, maize harvest and delivery to site started today [Thurs 20th August] and will run for the next 4-5 days. We are predicting a total harvest into site of around 5 to 6,000 tonnes delivered in 16 tonne loads on tractor/ trailer.
Each tractor and trailer will, as usual for harvest, be badged with the magnetic badges that identify our contractors.
If you witness anything that concerns you or if you have questions about the project you can review our FAQs here or contact us via a webform or phone number here.
