Beautiful 😍
I couldn't come all the way to Davos without making time to see the beautiful alpine biodiversity. Thanks to @WorldBioForum for hosting our #intercropping session, and to our wonderful speakers for sharing their experiences of diversifying crops @SEAMixtureS @HuttonES

The results are in - a smooth polyurethane impact ring in the Oat Collider gives the best results for dehulling, with steel a close second. Testing #croftinginnovations for small scale #graingrowing in Scotland at #Lismorebunkhouse @SEAMixtureS

School seed mixtures are looking fab although they did start life in a glasshouse. Anyone got pictures of their plants? @TheRHET

First farm visit complete. School kids were very enthusiastic. 🤗
We are working in partnership with @RNCI1 @JamesHuttonInst @BuglifeScotland to get schools out onto farms to find out more about crop mixtures, worms and invertebrates. Today marks our first visit to a farm in the Scottish Borders #STEMnation @RHET_SBCI

It's so great to finally get out and do this!
Great day working with S3 Biology students from @DYWBHS explaining the importance of looking after our soil to grow our future food. #soilhealth #soilhealthmatters @AlistairHodge @SEAMixtureS @SBCOutdoorEd

We have schools across Scotland growing barley and linseed monocultures and mixtures as part of the SEAMS project with @JamesHuttonInst @BuglifeScotland. The RHET seeds are looking great. 🙌 If you have seed pics to share we'd love to see them! 🌱 📷

Any schools planted their @SEAMixtureS seeds yet? We'd love to see photos. @TheRHET

Fantastic 👍
Land not fit to work on yet 💦 so separating peas and spring barley from our @SEAMixtureS 2021 trials which were grown and harvested together. Not a method for too many tonnes but it worked!! #Farming #Innovation #CropMixtures 🌱🌾

I can't decide whether vetch or crimson clover is my favourite @SEAMixtureS forage component 😍. Lovely day at @ColdrochieEG sampling in the sunshine

An interesting webinar about regenerative agriculture...
If you missed our webinar recently, good news! You can watch (or rewatch!) here! @KenGiller Discusses whether "Regen Ag" is more likely to confuse than to clarify the public debate & how best we can contribute to reshaping our food systems in the future. https://t.co/jCD5qrIVIQ

Plenty of pods in the lentil-wheat intercrop plots @SRUC Crichton. Another @SEAMixtureS crop mixture sample ticked off thanks to #LegumesTranslated

Throughout the season we do some extra measurements in the JHI plots. Today was aphid counting day! Plots are looking good and the view's not bad either.
