Modern Farming Practices – presentation

At Broadmayne’s Annual Parish Meeting on the 20th May 2019 there was a very interesting talk on Modern Farming Practices by Tim Merry, the Operations Director of J V Farming Ltd which manages fields between Broadmayne and West Knighton for the Herringston Estate.

During the talk Tim explained many of the conservation initiatives that he is involved in and, towards the end, made proposals to establish “Permissive Paths” in some fields whilst restricting access to conservation margins. This, he suggested, would give further recognised walking routes without compromising conservation objectives

Whether you were at the meeting or not, please take time to look at the presentation and if you have comments to make please use the form provided. We will collate comments received and discuss them with Tim
