After an exceptionally dry April, a Norfolk farm is testing the financial viability of irrigating wheat crops to protect yields from our increasingly volatile weather.
North Norfolk farm contractor Kit Papworth began irrigating his wheat fields last Wednesday - the earliest he has ever needed to supply extra water for a crop which usually relies on April showers.
He is taking part in a national trial to assess the financial viability of this strategy - and he said the price paid for the grain had a big impact on whether wetting wheat pays.

East Anglia s sugar beet growers have been granted an emergency authorisation for the limited and controlled use of a banned pesticide to save disease-ravaged crops.
The chemicals were previous used to control virus-carrying aphids, which have since infected sugar beet fields and pose a significant potential danger to the 2021 crop.
The government issued a statement which says the special circumstances met the legal requirements for a temporary emergency derogation, and approved the chemical for use in 2021 on England s sugar beet - much of which is grown in Norfolk and Suffolk.
