“The farm tour has been a highly popular part of Beef Expo in recent
years and I would urge farmers interested in joining the tour to make their
reservation right away as places are limited to the first 300 applications
received,” said Mr Emslie.
“The tour will take in three innovative beef farmers, who are tackling
the challenge of post de-coupling in their own diverse ways, which should
make for very interesting and informative farm visits. We are most grateful
to our three host farmers who are kindly opening up their farms to allow
delegates to view their beef enterprises.”
The 300 delegates will be split into three groups for the visits which will
be to the following farms –
J C Crabtree and Son, Bolton Park Farm, Bolton Abbey, Skipton.
Upland farm of 740 acres with a suckler herd of 150 mainly Aberdeen-Angus
cross cows, previously crossed with Limousin bulls but now with Stabiliser.
