Passion for farming drives flock expansion in Aberdeenshire

摘要

A determination to make a living from farming is what drives sheep farmer John Fyall, who manages his flock at Sittyton near Newmachar in Aberdeenshire. And juggling the day-to-day running of his flock alongside his role as a rural valuer, as well asvarious other commitments to the local community, most recently his appointment as NSA Scottish Region Chairman, means there is never a dull moment. John took over the role in February 2017, soon after he took on employment as a land agent for a local contractor based on nearby. This allows him to do much of his professional work from home and to devote days away to his new role, to get stuck into issues he is passionate about. Securing the future of agriculture in Scotland for the next generation is high on the agenda.
