The land is generally classified as Grade 4(1) but it has been  improved substantially in recent years with a rolling programme of re-seeding and liming, along with applications of seaweed and dung as well as commercial fertilisers, in accordance with soil test recommendations. Typically two cuts of silage are taken off   the farm and some of the fields are capable of three cuts, all of which are baled and stored on the farm. 

A grassland management programme has been in place for the  

Great emphasis has been put on the amenity and environmental appeal of the estate by the present owners who have entered into a number of farm management and stewardship schemes. Both farms lie entirely within a Less Favoured Area and attract the requisite grant subsidies. More details about schemes and subsidies are available from the selling agents.
