At DT Silvertown Solutions, our crop selection is driven by market demand, soil suitability and the need to maintain a balanced rotation. Every variety we grow is chosen with quality and supply consistency in mind.
Cereals
Cereals form the backbone of our rotation. We grow winter wheat and spring barley as our primary crops, targeting both milling-grade and feed-grade specifications depending on the season and market conditions.
Variety selection is reviewed annually, with performance data, market specifications and agronomic fit all considered. Our wheat and barley programmes are structured to deliver consistent quality at harvest.

Leguminous Crops
Legumes play a vital role in our rotation — fixing nitrogen, improving soil structure and adding diversity to our programme. We grow winter and spring field beans alongside combining peas.
These crops serve feed and food markets, with beans destined for both animal feed and human consumption sectors, and peas targeted at feed and processing buyers.

Oilseed Crops
Winter oilseed rape is a key break crop in our rotation — providing a strong agronomic benefit for subsequent cereals while generating meaningful commercial returns from the edible oil and renewable fuel sectors.
We grow approved varieties suited to our local soil conditions and climate, managing the crop to achieve consistent oil content and low levels of impurities that buyers require.

Seasonal flexibility
Seasonal Production
Seasonal flexibility is important in modern agriculture. Alongside our core programme, we adapt our rotation to reflect market opportunities, weather patterns and agronomic priorities — ensuring the land is always working effectively.
Cover cropping and catch cropping are also part of our seasonal approach, protecting soils over winter and contributing to long-term productivity.
