Category: Dorset Farming
Dorset Farming is a popular, well-read section, brought to you in partnership with Trethowans. Always full to the brim with interesting articles and news.
We have several monthly columnists in the farming section each bringing something new and interesting to the table.
George Hosford, the current Dorset NFU County Chair, currently heads up the NFU column.
We also have James Cossins, a fifth generation farmer in the Tarrant Valley. James shares a monthly diary of what is happening on the farm, along with his experience and thoughts on current issues. He often provides us with images from Rawston Farms’ past, and tales of bygone farming.
We are also lucky to have Andrew Livingston, a young farmer who is based over Beamister way. His column again always different, entertaining and interesting.
Dorset Farming is a popular section in the BV magazine, reproduced here on the website.
