Crop it Like it's Hot: How one arable family has diversified their farm by producing a fresh oat drink

Join Ash Ellwood, Farmers Guardian head of arable, as she visits a family-run arable farm in Leicestershire, where third-generation farmer Miles Marlow-Thomas has recently diversified the farming business to create a fresh oat drink

The diversification is led by founder and family member Miles Marlow-Thomas, who has not only found a market for their farm-grown oats, but also created an opportunity to return to the family farm, after completing university and working in London.

We learn about the whole 'grain-to-glass' process, how the oats are grown and marketed, and also get their top tips for growers looking to incorporate new ideas on their own farms.
