Rob Raven farms a wide range of crops and soil types around the Norfolk/Suffolk border. He began direct drilling his family farm in the early 2000’s with a home-made tine drill, and now incorporates livestock, cover cropping and reduced inputs, farming as far as possible within the principles of regenerative agriculture. Having had success with the techniques, he now provides regenerative contract farming services on several nearby farms, as well as farm management services on two local country estates which are transitioning to regenerative agriculture. Now responsible for crops and livestock across 10,000 acres, this increased scale has allowed him to invest in the right equipment for the job, employ specialist advisors, and participate fully in projects like the Groundswell Benchmarking group.
