NFU Poultry Industry Programme 2022/23, Broiler producer, North EastI came back to the farm in 2016, and traditionally it was arable, sheep and pigs but we were looking to expand the business and go into broilers.
I run the poultry side of the business with my dad, and it’s a great industry to be in. It’s really technology and data driven, so very interesting and quite different to the rest of the farm.
I went to Leeds University to study History and Politics and didn’t have any intention of coming back to the farm, but then my friends went to London and I decided an office job wasn’t for me.
I’m looking forward to meeting other farmers in the sector and industry experts.
