Flooding and the recent heat that we have seen and the fires, i mean, it is impossible not to be shocked by this kind of thing. but you know we do know that these types of rainfall and these types of heat events and fires are possible. we have seen some of this in the historical record as well. but when we look towards the future of climate we know that these things are going to happen more often and we need to be more prepared. of course, the rainfall has been extreme but are we prepared enough...

And fires are possible. we have seen some of this in the historical record as well. but when we look towards the future of climate we know that these things are going to happen more often and we need to be more prepared. of course, the rainfall has been extreme but are we prepared enough for these events? for example, in the little things like this reservoir it is significant in stopping a town getting floods. so are we prepared enough for these extreme rainfall events? it is really frustrating ...

Which gather in the crop and bring that in in slightly wetter conditions and so it allows us to do a bit more each day. we are here at one of your wheat fields, about a0 acres of wheat here. and what do you do differently now in terms of when you plant this crop compared to what you would have done traditionally? so traditionally this would have been a plough—based system. we would have cloud it and then drilled in the autumn or winter wheat or we would have cloud it here ready for the spring ...

Here ready for the spring cropping and left it as a plough over the winter. very much that releases an awful lot of carbon and it creates an awful lot of energy. so to reduce that we are now doing direct drilling and drilling in the autumn, direct drilling the crop seed into it without that plough movement, so we are reducing carbon that way. and once all these crops have been harvested and you have got bare soil, what do you do to protect that soil from say increasing extreme rainfall events? s...

Into it without that plough movement, so we are reducing carbon that way. and once all these crops have been harvested and you have got bare soil, what do you do to protect that soil from say increasing extreme rainfall events? so in the autumn we would direct drill a cover crop into there and use it as almost as a false crop during that winter period and then come the spring time we would kill off that crop and then plant a new crop in there that will be our cash crop. we have had some really h...

By what has happened but there is an element from climate scientists of we told you so. so can we both be shocked but also not surprised at these events? if you see the scale of the recent flooding and the recent heat that we have seen and the fires, i mean, it is impossible not to be shocked by this kind of thing. but you know we do know that these types of rainfall and these types of heat events and fires are possible. we have seen some of this in the historical record as well. but when we loo...

It has got a new very fancy header on, which is on rubber belts, which gather in the crop and bring that in in slightly wetter conditions and so it allows us to do a bit more each day. we are here at one of your wheat fields, about 40 acres of wheat here. and what do you do differently now in terms of when you plant this crop compared to what you would have done traditionally? so traditionally this would have been a plough—based system. we would have cloud it and then drilled in the autumn or ...

Extreme but are we prepared enough for these events? for example, in the little things like this reservoir it is significant in stopping a town getting floods. so are we prepared enough for these extreme rainfall events? it is really frustrating actually as a climate scientist, as a hydrologist, to see people not prepared for these really bad floods that we have seen. i know that we need to have these places, just like this reservoir, to store the water, to stop it rushing down to peoples houses...

Plough, we are reducing the carbon that way. once all the crop has _ carbon that way. once all the crop has been _ carbon that way. once all the crop has been harvested, - carbon that way. once all the l crop has been harvested, what do you do to protect that soil from increasing extreme rainfall events? in from increasing extreme rainfall events?- from increasing extreme rainfall events? ., rainfall events? in the autumn, we would _ rainfall events? in the autumn, we would drill _ rainfall even...

Are we prepared, warm enough for these rainfall events? it’s for these rainfall events? its reall for these rainfall events? it�*s really frustrating because of climate scientist and hydrologist will see people not prepared for these really bad floods that we have seen. i know that we have to have places like this reservoir restored, to stop it rushing down to peoples houses and into the streets. we just havent done anything about it. we make such small steps and we know that the future is g...
