Our underlying goal is to produce healthier food whilst reducing our reliance and usage of chemicals for the benefit of our customers and the environment. The activities on the farm fall under three main areas: farming, contract farming and livestock.

Contract Farming
Approximately two-thirds of our total acreage is farmed under contract for other landowners where we are responsible for day-to-day operations, supplying and funding the costs of management, labour, machinery and associated requirements. All crops and stock remain the property of the farmer, who receives the income from their sale. Their account pays for all variable cost items, other pre-agreed fixed costs, and R.E. Howard’s fee as a contractor. The first charge on the resulting surplus profit is paid to the landowner. The remaining profits are divided between landowner and ourselves as set out in the agreement, to reflect the risks and workload borne by each.

Each farm agreement is negotiated individually and takes into account the wishes of our partner, offering both you and us a fair return for the assets employed, the risks involved, and the work and responsibility undertaken. We also accommodate short-term share farm arrangements. If you would be interested in having us provide all (or part) of this service for you, please contact us. In addition, we are always interested to hear from parties with irrigated sand land for short-term rent.
