John Liston is a dedicated steward of his 80-hectare farm with deep roots in the community, having farmed the land since the late 1970s. Originally a dairy farmer, he made a significant shift to becoming a suckler farmer in recent years. Resilient Farming – Operating organically since 2002 and part of the REPS scheme, he has championed low-input farming, emphasizing the importance of resilience. Having benefited from creating a profitable system with minimal external feed and fertilizer, he keeps cattle out longer which allows greater flexibility in farm management. He rears 60 Aberdeen Angus suckler cows entirely off grass.
