Does anyone know Andrew Robinson ?

[startinghandle]

I have just watched Andrew Robinson win Farmer and farm manager of the year 2019
It is an eye opener watching how farming on a huge scale is done

Elveden estates?

Yes I do, almost a neighbour. Good bloke and very good farmer.
Not Clive's style though. Very high input, very high output, and great attention to detail.
Not at Elvedon.

Second that. Been to a few trials sessions at his farm and it is all most impressive.

Heathcote Farms Toddington a good manager and well farmed . Great owners as well certainly miles better than previous owners and farm manager.

Not sure if I would agree with you about the previous farm manager. He had to dance to the previous owner's tune, and was one of the few who would put up with him. I could tell a few stories......

Where’s the video?

I occasionally get to catch the programme and was lucky to get this one at the start, enjoyed it. Must look through i-player for some others I've missed.

Is this the farm that was previously owned/farmed by the Bonser forklift man?

Often the case, good manager or other team member held up by shall we say, 'local politics'.

As SB said, nothing wrong with the previous farm manager. Grew up around the area and the kit they had in the 80’s was amazing. I have just sold a sprayer based around a IH 956 they built in the farm workshop.

Yes I do know that one well enough but I don’t know if they are on about him or someone down south on here?
