New House Farm (2019-2023)

Beef & Lamb Strategic Farmer Neil Brown, New House Farm

New House Farm is managed by Neil Brown. Along with his father, Neil runs a mixed beef and sheep enterprise in south Shropshire which has been a family owned farm for over 80 years.

Neil said: “I became a partner in the business four years ago which has allowed me to play a bigger role in the decision making.

“I applied to become a Strategic Farm to better my business strategies and ensure future-proofing during the uncertain times ahead. I hope to improve my grassland management to reduce purchased feed costs, improve worm control and stock the farm efficiently. I’ve recently invested in EID technology and hope, with the support of the Strategic Farm programme, to use this more effectively in monitoring lamb growth rates and flock production. I also hope to gain knowledge from experts and meet like-minded people through the programme.”
