I've been involved in agriculture for over 50 years since helping on a friend's farm as a child. On moving Over Wyre over 30 years ago, we purchased about 15 acres of land and developed a pedigree flock of Lleyn sheep. The kids had ponies and my wife collected various other bits and pieces in the shape of a Kune Kune pig, a daft goat and then progressed into Hampshire Down and Welsh Badger Face sheep...
My first "agricultural" job was with ECC Quarries Ltd, selling and organising the spreading of lime, before moving to ICI Fertilizers where I carried out soil sampling and selling of appropriate fertilizer, grass and cereal seeds and minerals.
