Launch of ORC wakelyns
Video
This video is from National Organic Combinable Crops (NOCC15) at Shimpling Park Farms 7th July 2015, when ORC launched its new wheat 'variety' ORC Wakelyns Population.

The problem is exacerbated by a lack of financial skills/knowledge of new entrants, for example on setting prices, estimating the cost of production and uncertainty about choosing a business model.
