Cope Seeds & Grain

We caught up with Mark Carter, Director of Bionature UK, to discuss Cope Nutrition products and the years of knowledge behind them. Yields have gone from 8t/ha wheat to 18t/ha, alongside 16t/ha barley and 7t/ha oilseed rape. Results like that don’t happen overnight - they come from years of learning what works in the field. The results are clear.

Have you considered undersowing arable silage with grass? If grass is next in the rotation, this can give you up to a 15-week head start, with the grass already established when the silage is harvested, saving time and an extra pass across the field. If you’d like to talk about arable silage, get in touch - we’d be happy to discuss how it could work in your system. 01529 421081 simon@copeseeds.co.uk george@copeseeds.co.uk

🌱Exciting insights from #BIOFACH 2026! Tom Desborough & Francesca Richards from COPE (Cope Seeds UK Ltd) just returned from Nuremberg, where the world’s leading organic trade fair showcased the future of organic agriculture. Key takeaways: - Global demand for organic produce continues to outpace supply - Traceability, quality, and reliable seed supply are more important than ever - Plant-based growth offers opportunities for organic seeds in high-quality ingredients - Digital transparency tools are reshaping how producers and buyers connect It’s clear: organic is no longer niche - it’s a cornerstone of sustainable food systems. #Organic #BIOFACH2026 #SeedInnovation #SustainableAgriculture #CopeSeeds

2026 SFI overhaul... DEFRA has announced significant changes to the SFI this week, with fewer actions, capped budgets, and updated payment rates. For many growers, it’s another shift to factor into an already busy time of year. George Mallender, our grass and small seeds specialist, takes a look at what the changes could mean on farm, from allocating hectares to choosing suitable mixtures, and why careful seed and rotation planning will matter in the year ahead.

🌾 Cope Nutrition is in partnership with @BionatureAgri to help farmers realise the full potential of their crops. With the recent launch of Cope Nutrition, Tom Siswick sat down with Mark Carter, Director of Bionature, to talk about the incredible results farmers are achieving with the support of these nutrition programmes. We’re seeing wheat pushed beyond 10t/ha, and winter barley crops that are thick, strong and uniform - with early rooting established, tillers holding on through the season, and more heads carried right through to harvest.

🌾 The beauty of arable silage? Its versatility! Whether the weather doesn’t play ball or your harvest window shifts, an arable silage mix gives you multiple options. Cut it early for silage, leave it a few more weeks as a whole crop, or take it all the way to harvest and get a bi-crop of peas and cereal together. Adaptable solutions for unpredictable seasons - contact Cope to discuss arable silage mixtures. #Silage #ArableFarming #ArableSilage #FarmingTips #Cope

As well as delivering on yield, Merlin stands out agronomically. It’s stiff with exceptional standing power. It’s early to mature, which suits growers, especially in northern regions. And with sound disease resistance across the board, its track record as an organic variety speaks for itself. Contact your local merchant about Merlin spring oats today. #DiseaseResistance #OrganicFarming #SpringOats #MerlinSpringOats #Oats #UKFarming

Merlin isn’t just about high yields and strong agronomics 🌾 It’s accepted by mills right across the UK - from Scotland to England and even into Ireland. Loved for its all-round quality, what really sets Merlin apart is its exceptionally low screenings - the lowest of any spring oat on the RL. Talk to your local merchant about growing Merlin.

🌾 Merlin Spring Oats continue to raise the bar. Lincolnshire grower Mark Popplewell achieved a record-breaking 11.46 t/ha on his 2025 YEN field with Merlin. With Merlin also taking gold in 2024 and 2026, the variety continues to prove its reliability and top performance across very different growing conditions. Contact your local seed merchant for prices and details.
