The good work does not end here, instead of using traditional ploughing methods the team are practicing ‘Direct Drilling’. This means that rather than discing, ploughing and then drilling the fields as usual, in the autumn they drilled a cover crop of radishes, phacelia and black oats straight into the stubble left from the previous harvest. This cover crop has been specifically chosen to help regenerate the soil, essentially adding nutrients back into the land. The spring barley crop is then sown directly into the land again, so the soil is never turned over and disturbed. Current thinking is that working the land releases carbon back into the air; by keeping the soil undisturbed, that carbon stays in the ground.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"filey-bay-moscatel-finish","title":"Filey Bay Moscatel Sherry Cask Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpirit of Yorkshire is Yorkshire's first ever single malt whisky distillery, located in Hunmanby, near Filey Bay on the Yorkshire Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Spirit of Yorkshire it is about doing things properly.
