<h2>BANFF AND BUCHAN MONITOR FARM</h2><h2>M﻿eet the Irvine Family - Sauchentree Farm</h2><h3>Sauchentree Farm, at New Aberdour, on the north-east coast of Scotland, is run by Bruce Irvine in partnership with his father and mother. Help at lambing comes from his art-lecturer wife, sister and brother-in-law. Their two daughters are starting to get involved in the farm.</h3><h3>In total, Bruce farms 650ac with cereals, sheep and cattle. He believes the three enterprises are as important as each other, with livestock providing fertility for the arable side. Bruce markets their organic lamb and beef through Scotbeef and enjoys competing with neighbouring farms on yield and lambing percentage.</h3><h2>T﻿he ambition of the programme is to instigate positive transformational change in innovative sustainable farming practices on nine farms across Scotland and to use the learnings from these farms for the benefit of farmers across the country.</h2>
