Meet the son who took over his family's farm tenancy on the Wentworth Fitzwilliam Estate near Rotherham after sudden tragedy
Although Wentworth Woodhouse is no longer in the hands of the Earls Fitzwilliams' descendants, they still own considerable land and property on the estate including tenant farmsHaving taken up his chairmanship of Future Farmers in the early part of this year Nick has had his eyes opened to the work that needs to be done in getting the message out about the organisation and encouraging greater participation.
“I was involved in the Tesco Future Farmers Foundation around the time dad passed away. That came to an end after 12 months and I then stumbled across Future Farmers.“I’ve taken part in negotiation skills days and media training days.
Nick took on the generational tenancy from his father on the 200-acre Nether Haugh Farm where his great grandfather had become the first generation to farm.“I’m the third generation of the current three generation tenancy agreement with the Wentworth Fitzwilliam Estate. It’s all reclaimed open cast mining, heavy, hard-working blue clay. We have around 100 acres of arable cropping and 100 acres of grass.
“I went back to my original idea of butchery at the beginning of lockdown. I received a bursary from The Henry Plumb Foundation and we have a complete new on-farm butchery and cold room.
