David Cornforth

Still a Yorkshire man but farming in Kent, David ceased high input/no profit farming over 25 years ago after stepping off the treadmill of generations of farmers wrecking the soils on his farm. David now uses his beef herd as a tool to rebuild his soil health, which increases forage production and then increases stock numbers whilst also increasing pasture diversity. David achieves this through heavy stock pressure and long rest periods with zero outputs other than electric fencing. David’s forage production is now higher than it has ever been, and he is keen to help others achieve this without excessive public money.
