Many UK farms are under real pressure at the moment.

Grain prices have slipped.
Input costs remain high.
And for some, last year's cereal harvest fell short of expectations.

With continued uncertainty around future policy and support, it's understandable that growers are thinking carefully about how to protect the resilience of their businesses.

While no single crop is a solution on its own, some farmers are choosing to reduce exposure to volatility by introducing long-term, low-input options alongside their existing rotations.

That's where Miscanthus is worth consideration.

It's a perennial crop that:

• Provides a reliable, long-term income stream, linked to inflation
• Requires no fertiliser and minimal inputs once established
• Aligns with the direction UK agriculture is heading
• Performs well on awkward or less productive land
• Requires just one annual harvest, with contractors handling cutting and baling
• Includes haulage and self-billing, keeping administration simple

This isn't about quick fixes. It's about spreading risk, building resilience, and giving part of the farm a steadier role over the long term.
