A Farming Case Study
is a detailed two-part documentary series following a year with
David Black & Son Ltd, a large arable and pig rearing enterprise
from Suffolk. The main focus is on the 1300ha (3200 acre) arable
operation, but the programmes also touch on the pigs and use
archive images to illustrate some of the farm’s fascinating
history.
It’s mostly heavy land on the farm, so combinable crops
including wheat, barley and oilseed rape are the order of the
day. But sugar beet is also an extremely important crop, with an
extensive area grown.
The majority of machinery used is from the Case IH stable, with
Puma and Quadtrac tractors favoured, but a variety of other
makes are shown and over 40 machines are featured in total over
the course of the two programmes. The series should appeal
equally to farm machinery enthusiasts and farming professionals,
with something for every level of interest.
Part one covers early spring work including
crop protection, cultivations and drilling through to the first
half of harvest in late July.
Extra feature: Archive footage feature
Part two begins half way through harvest in
early August and goes on to deal with cultivations, drilling,
autumn crop protection and sugar beet harvesting.
Extra feature: Harvest and cultivations 2016 machinery update
