How other farmers are profiting from Miscanthus…  

Colin Chappell is a Lincolnshire farmer who expanded his existing Miscanthus crop by 4.7 hectares this year. Colin explains, “Normal cropping might be a thing of the past.” he says, reflecting on the severe flooding that left 85% of his fields unplanted by mid-April this year.

“British farmers are in unknown territory,” he says. “Miscanthus offers numerous advantages, including long-term financial security, robust markets, and environmental benefits. With Miscanthus, you have to take a long-term view and look at the guaranteed returns from an upfront investment.

“It provides an income each year, with next to no inputs post-establishment,” he says.

“The Miscanthus fields teem with wildlife, including reed buntings, reed warblers, redshank, curlew, linnet, deer, and many underground species that thrive due to minimal soil disturbance, and the crop is a valuable carbon sink.”
