The farm enterprize is traditionally run. 30 acres arable and 150 acres permanent & temparary grass. The soil types vary from sand to medium loam to clay silt on the grassland. The average field size is eight acres. This is small compared with other farms.
The grass is wash land. This means it goes under water most years when the river floods. Suckler cows and calves graze the fields in the summer and fattened inside during the winter months. The beef animals are eventually sold at Newark Livestock Market.
The arable land grows Wheat, Barley and Fodder Beet which are all feed to our cattle.
