"Farmed since I left school and still do now, 46 years later, on my own account - mainly as a tenant. While farming I represented fellow farmers for 20 years mainly on Training and Tenant issues. Now completely retired, I stood for the District Council in 2019 and am enjoying my input on the planning, finance and O & S committees."
