Blackmoor Estate –- a mixed farm in Hampshire

Abstract

Blackmoor Estate is a 1000 ha family holding run as a farming company. Confidence in the future is indicated by a development plan which involves high capital expenditure and expansion in the production of apples and milk, two commodities currently in surplus in the countries of the EEC. The fruit nursery department produces rootstocks by the hardwood cutting technique and softwood cuttings under mist, and supplies a widespread demand for E. Mailing rootstocks.
