Following a bit of wind and rain at the end of last week, we are back planting under sunny skies, and the sequential planting programme is exactly where we need to be.

As a general rule of thumb, the earliest crops remain under plastic for about 6 weeks.

The first of the indoor crop has been lifted and is being sent to the wholesale markets.

The Jersey Royal Company has been working with NIAB Cambridge University Farms for a couple of years looking at density trials, and are repeating this again this season.

Indoor lifting continues in greenhouses and poly tunnels around the Island.

The Jersey Royal Company manages all of its own seed crop in the Island, and the first stage of this is growing mini tubers.

The first of the outdoor crop is now being lifted using a winch and cable system that effectively ploughs the potatoes out of the ground before they are picked up by hand.

Today saw the first digging from the famous Gorey côtil that overlooks the iconic Mont Orgueil Castle that features in so many photos and adverts.

Ten new John Deere tractors have been added to the fleet to replace some older stock.
