Foxburrow Farm, a mixed arable and livestock farm in Norfolk, has reduced its carbon footprint as a result of changes to its cultivation strategy, the consequent reduction in time spent on the land, Controlled Traffic Management and decreased herbicide and insecticide use.

New Holland is in the final stages of bringing a methane-powered version of its T6-180 tractor to market which will deliver impressive reductions in particulates, nitrous oxide and CO2, reduced running costs and a resulting reduction in carbon footprint.

The principles behind Horsch are at the heart of a good carbon management strategy. Founded in 1984, Horsch says its focus has always been on no-till and min-till farming.

Ben Sell, who is based at a 300-hectare family-run farm close to the New Holland factory at Basildon and runs a farming and contracting operation with his family, has been one of a small group of tractor users testing the pre-production T6.180 Methane Power tractor.

Origin Fertilisers is supporting farmers in reducing their carbon footprint and increasing the sustainability of farming through its NUTRI-CO2OL® service and NUTRI-MATCH tools.
