Are Contract Farming Agreements The Future For Young Farmers? Will Riddington and Katie Andrews | For Flock's Sake Ep4

Dela

Getting your foot on the farming ladder in the modern day can be a tricky business. However, one young couple turned their life upside down to make it work.

In this episode of For Flock’s Sake, the Farmers Guardian podcast championing young voices in farming, hosts Ellie Layton and Tom Ryder sit down with Will Riddington and Katie Andrews, who relocated from southern England to Northumberland after securing a Contract Farming Agreement (CFA) at Halton Red House Farm, near Hexham, to turn their dream of farming into a reality.

From balancing the books and getting to grips with farming in a new area to establishing a pedigree Beef Shorthorn herd, Will and Katie share how a CFA gave them the opportunity to farm without the burden of a mortgage and a limited amount of capital.
