Extract

In the year 1904, a grass field at Saxmundham Experiment Station was taken in hand by East Suffolk County Council. At that time the herbage in the field was very poor and consisted chiefly of weeds—largely Wild Carrot.

The soil is a typical chalky boulder clay of a poor type very stiff to work, but capable of producing good crops of wheat and beans when well drained.
