A desk-based study explores the potential of sowing beans or linseed alongside Winter Wheat to boost soil health and reduce input reliance.

With field trials cancelled due to wet weather previously, the findings draw on agronomy team insights, label reviews, and integrated farm management principles. Could this be a viable route to healthier soils and more resilient cropping systems?
