We’ve got one main supply into the yard. This supply powers the farmhouse, sheds for farm use, sheds for industrial use, biomass boiler, grain drying fans. Each industrial unit has a meter but everything else is lumped as one. I need to work out what’s using what. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Surely just put another meter on each individual item e.g House, building, fans etc

You should be able to get a clamp on meter which totalises, may have a bit of tolerance on error but will give you an idea.

Meters can be very cheap and just clamp on the cables as other poster said
For £300 and £25 a year you can get a meter which will report usage on a half hourly basis and a report every day to you via a site like Emig.

I have come across a metering system that monitors usage through each lcb and gives a costing for each, very accurate, its part of a local energy/carbon project,

We stuck a separate meter in the drier which has been very illuminating. We have family members obsessed with running fans.....they are not so keen on the cost of said fans which can rapidly wipe out £.
We're about to put one into workshop and each house too.
