Robin Askew, Lawkland Hall Farm
Key learning points
Robin Askew milks 150 cows at Lawkland Hall Farm. He found his business was becoming increasingly constrained by tired equipment and labour shortages.
Robin is considering the idea of collaboration as a means of overcoming these issues.
He has made contact with another farmer also interested in collaborating. However practical constraints including transport costs between the two units, planning restrictions and lack of capital investment, prevented them from developing a collaborative venture.
Nevertheless Robin is still considering other ways he may be able to grow his business through collaboration.
