Broom's Barn Experimental Station
Broom's Barn Experimental Station is a Rothamsted Research institute and arable farm in Suffolk, United Kingdom. The current farm manager is Mark Gardner.
History
It merged in 1987 to become part of the Institute of Arable Crops Research. The funding for the site came from the Sugar Beet Research and Education Committee, which became the British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO). The research which was being carried out was shut down by the director of the station and science staff left the site. Brooms Barn remains a fully functionally arable farm and LSRE station.

Structure
It is situated just south of the A14. In the early 2000s, the site employed around 70 people. It researched sugar beet.[1] Until 1967, the Higham railway station served the site.
