Support for local community programmes bring benefits to the local environment and the community.

"The challenge for modern day farming is working in a way which benefits both the environment and the economics of the farming business. The work and practices being implemented on this farm show that this can be achieved whilst still being able to produce a quality product which is very much in demand. Being part of the Natura 2000 network and Exploitation Qualifiee has not been detrimental to the business but has been used as an opportunity to improve working practices, reduce input costs and increase returns. Not all farms have the soil type or climatic conditions to be able to grow milling wheats, but this is as much about using the available resources and producing a product that the market wants and is willing to pay a premium for. The farm has a focus and direction which will steer it long into the future."
