No. I sort of know a chap that works there and its basically a min till system with some ploughing presently when I saw him before christmas. Theres 3 farms involved now so its a considerable operation I think over 3000 acres.

I thought they also did a bit of contract farming for other landowners on the Cotswolds,but I may be incorrect.

I know the manager there fairly well.

Must be well in excess of 3000 acres to sustain all that machinery and workers. Bet it’s pushing 4-5 with contracting.
