Our last crops, B-Carrots and sweet corn, have been drilled last month. The first cut of lucerne was also mown, and the grass/clover fields have been injected with both pig and cattle slurry. We drill 1,8 million carrot seeds per hectare, variety Nerac. After drilling the crop has immediatel been irrigated by an irrigator boom. This prevents that the soil will cap. The sweet corn has already been harrowed twice after drilling. Currently, 26 Polish employees are busy hoeing weeds in our onion and celeriac crops. Almost all of our potatoes have been harrowed and re-ridged with our 'Ecoridger'.
