We’re heading to Wiltshire today to Charlton Park Estate which is home to the Earls of Suffolk and Berkshire. Ben is joined by Robin Aird who is the Farms and Estate Manager. The farm itself is around 1450 hectares (nearly 4000 acres), a mix of arable and grassland. On top of this the farm has about 5,500 tonnes of grain storage capacity. 78 hectares of woodland and 560 hectares of environmental features are central to the estate’s conservation strategy which is made up of wild bird food areas, cover cropping, wildflower areas and grass margins. Today we’re going to hear more about this and Robin’s own journey.
