The Summer sun made for a bright photo opportunity of our wildlife corners, with Sunflowers being a firm favourite at Springfield Farm. They thrive with our strip tillage system and are low maintenance whilst providing a rich and valuable food source for birds and other creatures. With a bordering strip of Maize, these corners have been a great way to utilise awkward angles and put them to better use. They have been quite literally a ‘hive’ of activity!
