Keywords: deer farming, pasture, pasture renewal, seed mixes, sheep farming, soil fertility History and description John has been farming for a total of 37 years and is third generation on the family farm. Previously, 223 ha used to provide work for up to three labour units but now the farm is 65 ha smaller and John and Jill run the property by themselves. This is very much a partnership in the true sense of the word with equal responsibilities and a good working relationship.
