Paul Eggleston and Ray Hewson, Home Farm
Key learning points
The partnership was brought about by a shared farm consultant who saw the potential financial and lifestyle benefits of bringing the two businesses together.
Ray Hewson milked 100 cows at Home Farm, but wanted a less active role in the farm, whilst not wanting to leave farming all together. By contrast Paul Eggleston was milking 200 cows at Bridge Farm and was keen to expand and grow his business.
With the help of their consultant Ray and Paul formed a joint venture. Ray became responsible for rearing the young stock on one unit whilst Paul was able to focus on milking a total of 400 cows using a new milking parlour.
