Ian Farrant from Underley, Herefordshire joins AHDB Farm Excellence as the new midlands Beef & Lamb Monitor Farm.

Located on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border, around seven miles south of Tenbury Wells, this 600ac family farm finishes around 750 dairy beef cattle a year. The farm is half grassland, with a mix of permanent pasture and ryegrass/white clover leys, with the rest comprising maize, wheat, woodland and a newly established hazelnut orchard.

The farm’s first open meeting will provide the opportunity for farmers and industry to learn more about this exciting new Monitor Farm, discuss key priorities and input into future meetings.
