An anaerobic digester (AD) plant, changes in cropping and cultivations, and a growing range of electric farm machinery are all helping Stephen Temple reduce fixed costs at Copys Green Farm, Wighton, close to the north Norfolk coast.
Changes to slurry storage regulations 12 years ago signalled the start of a new approach.

“I didn’t want to spend a lot of money just to meet new regulations, but wanted to earn money as well,” he says.
