What Crops and When?
As the only specialist locations agency in the UK, trust us to provide the right information about what crops are growing in Britain’s fields, and what they look like, and when. We look after a wide range of farms, growing all sorts of crops from the classic types of wheat and barley, to more unusual varieties, such as borage, sunflowers, miscanthus and linseed. We also have connections with large vegetable farms and salad leaf farms too.
Here’s a taster for what to expect and when
WINTER TIME
Miscanthus (elephant grass) stands tall and golden.
Autumn sown cereal crops (eg wheat, barley, oilseed rape) are green and up to 1 foot high
APRIL to JUNE, the soil warms up, more crops are planted and growth is vigorous
Yellow oilseed rape starts to flow (turns to seed pods early June)
Cereal crops get taller and stay green until June – they turn golden with the sun and heat
Pretty floral crops start flowering in June (eg fields of borage (blue), linseed (blue), flax (white))
SUMMER, the golden phase
From late June, crops of corn turn to gold – wheat, barley, oats and rye
Harvest starts from mid July to mid Sepetmber, so standing crops are available throughout the whole of Summer
Maize grows tall (up to 8 feet) and slowly fades to gold in the very late Summer
AUTUMN
Sunflowers in full bloom in September
Tall maize turns golden and is harvested late September/October
New crops are planted for next year
Cereal Crops
Cereal crops are planted in the seasons of winter and spring. If you are looking for golden film ready crops, aim to shoot from late June – wheat, barley, oats and rye. Harvest starts from mid July to mid Sepetmber, so standing crops are available throughout the whole of Summer.
For 2025 Summer , here’s a few farms with golden cereals :

Oil Seed Crops
From early April Rapeseed produces its lively, bright yellow flower until June when pods start to form growing to heights of 3-5 feet. Linseed flowers from May-August, however, they open around 9:00 am and drop off by evening, with new flowers appearing the next day reaching heights of 1-4 feet.

Forage Crops
We have a selection of forage crops to offer- maize, silage, hay and haylage. What’s the difference between hay and haylage? Well while hay is left to sit in a shed being held together by bale twine, haylage is stored in a wrap allowing fermentation to occur and allowing it to be stored outside.
Here are a selection of farms that offer this:

Haylage:
Silage:
