Farm partnerships have clear advantages, according to a report

Farm partnerships have clear advantages in improving lifestyle, building farm scale, and facilitating young entrants to farming, according to a report by the National Rural Network.

The report suggests the setting up of a series of monitor partnership farms and case studies on successful farm partnerships to act as models for those new to the concept.

NRN also suggests promoting the partnership model to discussion groups, especially groups involved in the dairy efficiency and beef technology adoption programmes.
