Soil

Anna Hill meets a Norfolk farmer who's recommending old-fashioned seven-year crop rotation as a way to protect soil for the future. Poul Hovesen is farm manager at Holkham Hall and the Salle Estate in Norfolk. He's brought long-term rotations in to both sites, and believes this has improved the soils significantly.
The Port of Tyne is currently loading what they believe is one of the largest shipments of grain ever to leave the UK. The large bulk cargo vessel 'Rosco Poplar' will spend around seven days loading over 60,000 tonnes of barley which will go to various parts of the world - focussing on the middle east.
