We have a mixed farming operation typically growing around 650 acres of combinable crops on a rotation of winter wheat, barley, oats followed by lupins, beans or grass as a break crop and about 400 acres of grass for grazing or silaging.

Our beef operation spans both pedigree and commercial breeding and youngstock from our suckler herd are either sold as breeding stock or taken through to finish on home grown forage.

Although we are not formally organic we use organic principles. We use  clovers and farmyard manure to build fertility - so that we don't need to buy in as much artificial fertiliser - and use satellite linked precision soil testing and application of lime, phosphate and potash to keep the soils at optimum levels. Our rotation helps to keep chemical sprays to a minimum.
