We thought we’d share some highlights from our P.X. Farms Twitter account managed by our Managing Director James Peck today – exciting progress being made drilling sugar beet and potatoes and cultivating – twitter.com/Pxfarms
Slow and steady wins the race
The weather has been against us but to quote our Managing Director James Peck:
“Slow and steady wins the race. The chaps have good stamina in these testing times. Nice to see the sun out.”
Our final battle against the weather to end our 2020 combinable crop harvest
As our Managing Director James Peck rightly says when taking this photo:
’10 minutes to go and the nightmare ends. Chaps I salute you for the battle of effort to get combinable crops harvested. Thank you, well done.’

Did you see us talking about this year’s harvest on ITV?!
Did you see our Managing Director, James Peck, talking to ITV News Anglia about this year’s harvest? And, in particular, potatoes?
It was tremendous fun, and it’s always fantastic to be able to share our passion for farming with as wide an audience as possible. Big thanks to ITV News Anglia for coming out to film us, and kudos to them for supporting the farming community by showing such an interest.
