Congratulations are due to Owen and Nicky on the arrival of their baby Lucy.

Owen joined us from a farm in North Oxfordshire, when he first came he was one of 5 tractor drivers. His first tractor was a New Holland 8770 which we had two of. Owens original job was ploughing, moving straw, and helping out with some of the cattle work when the dairy staff were on weekends off etc. While Owen has been here we've been through some restructuring, firstly reducing the number of staff, then loosing our Dairy, and moving towards minimal tillage with the arable work. All of this has meant that Owen has had quite a varied role in his time here.

Since then Owen has retrained and acquired a range of building skills, and now he spends a large amount of time with Dave and Mark on the building team, returning to the farm in the summer to drive the combine during the day shift (Dave Mullard takes over at night). Currently Owen is on a day release scheme learning everything electrical.

When not at work, and before he had a baby Owen follows motorbike racing, and for a while he was the offical photographer of one of the teams. He also has his own bike which in the summer months he likes to go off to a meet in Alton when he gets the chance.
