The Strategic Dairy Farm network provides a platform for farmer-to-farmer learning.
Subscribe to our daily newsletter!The programme represents the wide range of farm businesses across the UK, with each farm acting as a focal point for regional and national discussions and I'd like to tell Shropshire farmers more about it.
Lydney Park Farms is part of the Lydney Park Estate in Gloucestershire. A team managed by Gavin Green milk 850 Jersey-cross cows twice a day, producing around 4,750 litres of milk and calving in a 10-week block that starts in the spring. The farm consistently grows around 12.5-15t dm/ha most years and, as part of the Strategic Dairy Farm programme, is planning to implement changes to their system to adapt to the principles of their consumer conscious milk buyer.
Whilst Ollie feels that Dillington may be doing things slightly differently to others, he acknowledges that it is always good to be challenged in a positive way and says he can’t wait to share experiences and learn from others. The estate’s farming policies have changed massively over the last few years, and it is now very environmentally focused.
