Recent news and discussions in the agricultural press has surrounded the planned super dairy at Nocton which is a reflection of a shift in agriculture towards US style intense farming. Nocton Dairy intends to have over 8,000 dairy cows and they aim to produce around 250,000 litres of milk / day from Nocton, Lincolnshire which they say will add a significant contribution to the local economy. One of the key selling points is the farm plans to employ over 80 local staff including a full time vet and to use local farmers to contract grow the feed requirements for Nocton.
This change and growth in farming is a significant shift which is worrying the smaller dairy farmers who are already struggling to compete. However the farm is a move forward in terms of innovation and catching up with other European markets, Kissinggates.com’s team were recently in Denmark researching the Horse Dating market which is a growing segment of the Danish online dating sector.
