The lands all appear to be in good heart, having been regularly re-seeded with a high level of husbandry to maximise grass production for grazing, silage and hay production. The majority of the lands are equally suitable for arable crop production, being located in an area renowned for cropping. Fencing of lanes and additional gating arrangements are designed for easy livestock handling throughout the farm.
