Welcome to Letham Shank Farm,
a mixed farm on the banks of the
River Tweed in Northumberland, England.

I grow a variety of crops including Winter and Spring Barley, Canola, Winter and Spring Wheat and grass.

 

You will find details of cropping, machinery used and a diary of the farming year, with a selection of images, where I hope to provide information about farming and food production.

 
Full agronomy records of herbicide, fungicide, growth regulator and fertiliser applications may be viewed from the 'Maps' page
 

View current weather conditions or search weather records and information dating to 1996 for this location. The Live Web Cam is available here.

"There seem to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their neighbors. This is robbery. The second by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third is by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his favor, as reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry." ~ Benjamin Franklin
