Cresswell Barn Farm
Ian and Fiona Elliott, together with son and daughter Patrick and Tess, grow around 170ha of potatoes on the silty clay loams at Cresswell Barn Farm next to the Cleddau Estuary in Pembrokeshire.
Clock Farm
A major potato producer in Yorkshire has boosted marketable yields by around 12% by adopting a more comprehensive approach to crop nutrition.
Kincraigie Seed Potato Growers
Trials carried out by Kincraigie Growers, a 150ha seed potato-growing operation based in central Perthshire, have clearly demonstrated the potential of OptiYield foliar treatments.

Chip and Crisping Potato Trials – Brickyard Farm
Andrew Wilson of C.J. Wilson & Son is the fourth generation to farm on
the Castle Howard Estate, about 14 miles North East of York. Their
operation has grown steadily and now grows around 250 acres of
potatoes, supplying chip and crisp factories in roughly equal measures
– including Walkers’ Crisps and McCain’s chips.
National Root Crop Growers & Packers
One of the biggest issues facing carrot growers is waste, and with the United Nations predicting that farmers need to increase food production by 70% to meet the global demand, increasing marketable yield is ever more important.
