About Kingsclere Monitor Farm

Tim became a Monitor Farm host in May 2024
1,000 ha (of which 440 ha is arable)
Producing organic wheat, barley oats and beans for milling, malting, human consumption and feed
The farm is now fully organic following a gradual conversion starting in 2017

Challenge: Kingsclere Monitor Farm is exploring how soil health interventions and environmental land management choices can influence crop performance and fertility over time.

Approach: Tim May is assessing the effect of a three-year SFI option on the following crop and overall fertility, helping to test the practical value of longer-term soil health measures. The work will help build a stronger evidence base for how SFI options can support soil function, crop resilience and more informed future land management decisions.

Impact: Outcomes to be shared upon completion of Monitor Farm activity.
