The article focuses on the decision of farm manager Robert Garner of Godwick Hall Farm in Norfolk, England to grow wheats. According to Garner, barley has been discarded because wheat contamination makes malting barley a non-starter at the farm. He cites that he averaged about £80 per ton in 2006, which is much better than in 2005. Prices increased nearly £15 per ton, almost a 20% improvement.

The article reports on the status of spring crops at the Docking Farm owned by Chris and Michael Harold located in Oulton, North Norfolk, England. A lovely spring day with the temperature at 17 degrees Celsius makes spring cropping at farm work fully up to date, except for gardening and grass cutting. Soils have also worked well. The other organic crop at the farm is Deben wheat sown in late November.
