Emily Padfield farms beef and sheep alongside her husband in Warwickshire and is also a freelance journalist.
The lowland heavy-clay farm has transitioned from an 800-ewe indoor-lambing intensive sheep enterprise to one that now includes suckler cattle, a smaller lower-input outdoor lambing flock, property lets and a new equestrian partnership as well as a Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme which utilises grant opportunities wherever possible.
Emily is also a 2022 Nuffield Scholar who has just presented her scholarship: “The Mob-Grazed Flerd: Improving soil, biodiversity and farm incomes"
