Justin Wilderspin is Head of Farming at Albert Bartlett & Sons Limited, a role that brings with it many different skills. We find out the implications of the weather, how they are changing their approach to managing the soil, cover crops and their focus on new varieties as they move away from the Maris Piper.
We also learn more about their trials programme which can include up to 100 varieties, with irrigated and non-irrigated options, and includes a taste test kitchen in Scotland so they can look at every aspect of one of the nation’s favourite vegetables.
