Rt. Hon Owen Paterson MP visits Brockhurst Farm

Date: 4th April 2012

The Story

Owen Paterson recently visited Rod MacBean’s Brockhurst Farm at Aston, near Wem to see his two Fullwood Merlin milking machines and a major investment in a new cowshed built around the robots.

Owen said after the visit “I was struck by how calm and contented the cows were, with the result that the farmer can spend much more time on cow welfare so milk yields have risen. This is a very impressive operation and I congratulate Fullwood for their innovative technology which shows the way forward for the British dairy industry.”
