and the spring barley is Propino. We get
some away for malting. I’ve a few hybrids
like Volume and Bazook a. Our rotation is
wheat, barley, oilseed rape, wheat and
sugar beet.’
Other than father and son the Liddles
employ four staff plus casuals for the cart-
ing of sugar beet.
Geoff enjoys vintage tractors and has
his own collection including one that he
believes may be the oldest tractor still in
working order in Cawood.
‘It’s a 1936 Standard Fordson that was
bought for £125 and delivered to a Mr
Jackson. I’ve been on the West Yorkshire
Vintage Tractor Club committee since
it started in the late 60s and attend the
monthly meetings in Harrogate. I enjoy the
rallies and Tractor Fest at Newby Hall each
year.’
Geoff is married to Doreen and as well
as Graham they have a daughter Susan
at Selby. Graham is married to Georgina.
They have a daughter Jessica (16) and son
Eddie (14) who both play rugby at Selby.
Geoff and Doreen have two other grand-
children from Susan – Oliver and Max.
