Oliver Chedgey
I am a first generation farmer who started of my own business using sheep and beef cattle to graze the uncropped land of the local arable farmers eventually building up to 1200 acres of land. The next progression from this was to move into Dairy farming and to enter into a share farming agreement at Kingsclere estates. I am now milking 450 organic cows once a day on a pasture based system through a mobile milking parlor, one of only four in the whole of the United Kingdom.
I am currently undertaking a Nuffield scholarship exploring how to further progress up the farming ladder.
