Albanwise Rye Harvest

From today Albanwise contractors will be harvesting the rye crop from the Wretton Road block. They will be using six lorries in rotation and the traffic plan is as follows:

The lorries will be brought through the village empty and exit on to the A134 at the bottom of Wretton Road when full.

The farm manager has asked that the drivers be reminded to be careful as they go through the village, respect speed limits and keep off the verges.

There are 60 hectares (150 acres) of crop to be harvested and this will be done over two days. Depending on the size of lorry we can expect to see between 60 and 120 vehicle movements.

This crop will yield 1800 tons of rye that will be used for renewable energy. It will be taken to the anaerobic digester plant in Methwold to be turned into biogas, in turn separated into CO2 and Methane for fizzy drink manufacture and the national gas grid.
