“The ability to see what the
best growers in the UK are doing and then put this into action with
specialist local knowledge from our ProCam agronomist has quite
literally changed the way we farm.” |

Gross margins at Wilstrop Grange
Farm in Yorkshire are on track to increase by £50,000 since the
adoption of ProCam technical advice supported by the 4cast agronomy
system.
From a figure of £113,000 in 2001 to last year’s gross margin of
£141,000, budgeted figures for this year are £163,000 as a result of
the more cost-effective use of inputs and optimisation of yields
provided by the system.
“It’s been a real eye opener,” says Michael Stolley who has run the
500 acre arable unit at Kirk Hammerton near York for over 20 years.
The farm has been one of many that have helped develop the 4cast
system prior to its national launch at Cereals 2004. |
