AXION Boosts efficiency for top Cornish grower

Posted: 27 November 2019

An opportunity to take on more land prompted a Cornish farm and vegetable processor to make a step change in its approach to autumn establishment. Now one operator is responsible for cultivating 900ha for Agricola Growers with a new 295hp CLAAS AXION 870 and a 5.0m wide cultivator. Today it farms a total of about 1,500ha at Antony, near Torpoint,with cropping including cereals, daffodil  owers and bulbs as well as potatoes and onions. All the vegetables go to its own HF Produce business, which supplies washed and peeled produce to local  rm, Ginsters, to make Cornish Pasties.
