‼️ ATTENTION YOUNG FARMERS‼️
Last night we had the pleasure of welcoming a FARNLEY young farmers to Low Grange for a tour of both our precast concrete and ready-mix concrete operations.
It was great to show the next generation what goes on behind the scenes, from manufacturing prestressed wall panels, retaining walls and interlocking blocks through to supplying ready-mix concrete for projects across the region.
One thing that really stood out from the evening was hearing first hand about the challenges many farming businesses are facing. There’s no getting away from the fact that recent government policies have made life increasingly difficult for many hardworking farmers and rural businesses. For those of us who work closely with agriculture every day, it's genuinely concerning to hear the pressures that so many families and businesses are under.
At the same time, it was incredibly encouraging to spend time with a group of young people who are passionate about the industry, willing to work hard and determined to build a future within it. The resilience, attitude and commitment on show was a real credit to them all.
As a business, our roots are firmly linked to the farming community. Many of the products we manufacture end up on farms across the country, and we've always believed that when farming succeeds, rural businesses like ours succeed alongside it.
A big thank you to everyone who came along, asked questions and took an interest in what we do. We hope you enjoyed the visit as much as we enjoyed hosting it. The food and drink proved a hit as always, one guy took enough back to feed a small village. 😂
Here's to the future of British farming and the next generation helping to drive it forward.
