As promised its now time for me to introduce Henry to you. Henry joined us this summer, he came straight from the agricultural college, Harper Adams university college, This is the same place that I went, as well as my two cousins, my soon to be brother in law and my uncle Nick Brown who does our agronomy. This means that I can relate to some of the things he got up to in his time there.
Henry is very keen on shooting and was the captain of the shooting club at college. This has already proved useful to me as during the summer one of the wedding parties arrived early so we had to find something for them to do I called on Henry to take them off clay shooting on the clay ground for half an hour. I’m not sure he was expecting that when he came here but he enjoyed the opportunity. I also took him out rabbit shooting with my .22 rifle I’ve never really got on with it with much success, and thought that the rifle was to blame, but unfortunately he proved me otherwise. Henry’s role is farm managers assistant, which means that he needs to be able to do all of the tasks on the farm to a decent level this will obviously take some time, but his experience from working on his family farm since he was a boy certainly shines through. His main role at the moment is in the grain stores where he is conditioning the grain ready for selling, as well as loading the lorries when they come to collect it. This is really good because with Dad not quite up to scratch we need some one to operate the system, as this is normally his job. Dad can still load lorries at the moment but he has to go for an operation on his arm which will restrict him for a couple of months. One of the things that I’m really keen for Henry to do is to go out and help promote the brand of kingsclere Estates farming in the agricultural community so if all goes to plan any one in the local farming community should soon get to know him, can’t miss him really he’s tall with a tuft of red hair coming from his head!
