Live Maize Harvesting and Crimping Demo at Exeter Site

Grain maize is a relatively new crop for the UK's arable and mixed farmers but, according to John Morgan of the Maize Growers Association (MGA), it offers some exciting financial and environmental benefits.

"Farmers who want to find out more about grain maize production should come along to the free harvesting and crimping meeting on 15 November," he recommends.

The event, run by MGA and organised by ADAS, will begin at the Clyst St Mary Village Hall at 10.30am before moving to the Catchment Sensitive Farming Grain Maize Demonstration site close to junction 29 of the M5 near Exeter for the live harvesting and crimping demonstration later in the day.
