The challenge of making the farm financially viable whilst introducing more sustainable farming techniques was the main aim of taking on the role as Farms Director.<br \/><br \/>In the past the farm used intensive inversion tillage practices and had a dairy herd primarily bred for show. After 2017, a conservation agriculture approach was introduced with direct drilling across the farm and a more diversified rotation. The dairy system was converted to being primarily forage-based, with the 250 dairy cows now grazed outside more than they are kept inside. There are pigs on the farm too and cash crops including cereals and oilseed rape.<br \/><br \/>An increase in the diversity of cropping was a priority at Cockle Park Farm. Bi-cropping of the forage whole crop and the introduction of spring cropping has all been done to increase the diversity of crop species on the farm. Spring cropping in the rotation is also being used to reduce the grass weed issues at the farm. The lack of storage on the farm limits the range of crops that can be currently used as well as there being climatic limitations to what can be grown.<br \/><br \/>Following discussions with academics at the University, a decision to dedicate a large field (20 ha) to agroforestry was made. Willow was chosen as one of tree species because there is a long history of willow production for biomass at the farm with an established willow coppice block planted 23 years ago. This block has developed a highly diverse understory of legumes, flowers and orchids demonstrating the potential of willow to promote in-field diversity. Willow also can provide a reliable income stream for the agroforestry project. In the future agroforestry plots with top fruit may be established.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b5702e elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8b5702e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var(--ast-global-color-2);\"><b>General farming approach<br \/><\/b><\/span>Conventional farming<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37eefe9 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37eefe9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Objectives<\/b><\/p><ul><li>To be one of several research projects exploring sustainable farming practices at Cockle Park \u2013 using a grazing system for the dairy herd, (making them stand out amongst other universities who have their cows inside year-round), diversifying the cropping system, including more spring cropping in the rotation to reduce grass weed issues as well giving more flexibility in the spring with new research projects, bi-cropping the forage whole crop, and out-wintering cattle on forage crops.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fe53ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"2fe53ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-5021\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5021\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5021\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5021\"><ul><li>Creating a biofuel from willow biomass from a block of well-established willow trees, planted 23 years ago.

Such as, when using a fungicide, how do the trees in the agroforestry system affect the timings of fungicide application and what is the variation like between the rows? Also, what impacts will trees have on nutrient supply and how will pests be affected \u2013 will they decrease or increase?<br \/><br \/>Another research question the farm would like to investigate is how the the soil properties vary over wet and dry periods due to the trees and how this in turn affects soil workability. <br \/>The lack of well-established and larger scale agroforestry systems in the UK means there isn\u2019t a lot of data on the economics of agroforestry plots. Records on the costs, time and inputs of the agroforestry field have been collected over the past two years which includes yield data of the arable crops. As the trees will be harvested every three years, it will take several years to get the results and several cycles of willow and poplar harvesting before conclusions can be drawn.<br \/><br \/>The University and Farms Director hope that their research will help new and existing large scale agroforestry projects make more informed decisions. The workshops held by the REFOREST North of England Living Lab will facilitate these discussions as well as help identify the issues facing agroforestry in this area and what is needed to address these, in some cases using models such as FarmTree, the Public Goods Tool, and ecosystem service analysis.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d31dbd5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d31dbd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b style=\"background-color: var(--ast-global-color-4); color: var(--ast-global-color-2);\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Design of the agroforestry system<br \/><\/span><\/b>The agroforestry system at Cockle Park is a 20 ha silvoarable system that was established in spring 2022.
