Hamish Gairdner was spot-on with his wheat this harvest, meeting the quality sought by bread-makers by boosting his nitrogen fertiliser and using more applications.All 320ha of winter wheat on his north Oxfordshire estate hit the millers' needs, resulting in average protein of more than 13% for the first time in three years following an overhaul of his fertiliser regime.This is his second harvest of growing 100% breadmaking wheats, and his success in hitting the millers' specification could earn him a E15/t premium over feed wheat.
