Rothamsted

A Memory of Harpenden.

Much of the Farm Management Course I studied in Devon in the early 1970s was based on work done at Rothamsted. I felt very lucky to land a job here in 1975 and gradually to meet and even work with the authors of text books I had studied. I started work on the farm where my immediate boss was Jim Bidgood, who was replaced by Mike Rogers. Later I moved to Field Experiements working for Jim McEwen and George Dyke and scientists in most departments. The staff at Instrument workshops were also regular contacts particularaly Don Burn and Colin Russel. By the 1990s I was in The Entomology Departement as the "only Botanist" for a while!
