Cereals at the Mill - 2024
|
In 2024 we will be growing two displays in the protective
cage. The principle display will be "Crop Rotation" with
an example of a typical four-course rotation with some details of the
origins of crop rotations.
|
The second display will be a display of "Varieties of
Bread Wheat" to demonstrate the variations that occur within six
different varieties of wheat.
|
Additional information and photographs of these and other displays
grown in previous years is available below.
