“Agriculture’s reliance on chemicals and tillage to control weeds is the very definition of madness. We’ve been trying the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.”  

Join Kyle Richardville from our mentoring team who will explore how improving soil health can provide a long term solution to combatting blackgrass. 

Kyle will be joined by Oakbank co-founder Ian Gould who will share stories of his work with farmers and explain how some SFI options could be exacerbating the blackgrass problem. 

Wiltshire farmer George Hosier and Lincolnshire farmer John Charity also join us to talk through the highs and lows of combatting blackgrass on their farms.
