Robert , John , Charles and Edward are all involved in the farm today .
‘ My grandfather bought Wold House at Market Weighton and Manor House in the 40s in order to supply the family mill in York ,’ says Robert . ‘ My father and grandfather fattened store cattle too . John and I introduced a breeding herd .
‘ While the arable concern is a major part of the farm business , the rise of the Stabiliser breed has taken the headlines in more recent times ’
|
‘ The 70s were great years from the point of view of arable productivity and we increased yields from two tonnes of wheat per acre to three tonnes due to better methods , improvements in farm machinery and implements , and great strides in plant breeding that brought about breed varieties that pushed yield . They were quality varieties that stood well and produced great results . Our land , that we increased during those years , is two main land types of chalky Yorkshire Wolds and Vale of York sandy loam .
‘ Cropping , beef , eggs and ducks make up the four main elements of the farming operation today . Charles is mainly responsible for the arable side of the business and he also introduced the free-range egg-laying
