Two new entrants take on United Utilities owned farmland

Alistair Bland, 24, has taken on the management of a large holding owned by United Utilities
Two young farmers are breathing new life into the Peak District after United Utilities let out parcels of land to them as part of a new entrant programme.
Sam Bolton, 29, and Alistair Bland, 24, are working on land in the Goyt Valley and High Peak respectively.
Sam, who hails from Macclesfield, has taken on 1,000 hectares of land in the Goyt Valley for his 1,200-strong flock of Mule and Swaledale sheep.
This part of the valley hasn’t been grazed for 20 years, and it is hoped Sam’s flock will improve habitat management and reduce the risk of wildfire.
