Food and Farming Awards: Finalist Neil Darwent
Neil Darwent, one of the three finalists vying for the title of Outstanding Farmer of the Year, gives judges Adam Henson and Mike Gooding a tour of the dairy farm he manages.
Neil Darwent is the third finalist vying for the title of 'Outstanding Farmer of the Year' in this year's ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Food and Farming Awards. He gives judges Adam Henson and Mike Gooding a tour of the dairy farm he manages in Somerset and shares his passion for pasture.
The three farmers take a stroll around the fields, sheds and milking parlour and discuss Neil's determination to promote the value of grass-fed milk. He explains why he believes cows have a right to graze on fresh pasture, and why farmers who produce milk according to traditional methods should be rewarded. So is that a rose-tinted, old-fashioned approach to dairying or is Neil onto something new and progressive?
Presented by Adam Henson. Produced by Anna Jones.
