00:00I am the, if I get it right, I'm the fourth generation here.
00:04I took over from my dad's here, so yeah.
00:08We've been here, I can't give you the exact year off the top of my head,
00:12but yeah, we've been here for a while, yeah.
00:14So, yeah, the backbone of the farm is beef and sheep,
00:18and we need that, we need, it's a full cycle.
00:21The sheep graze the ground, I plant cover crops in the arable ground,
00:25the sheep graze that, and that helps to fertilise it,
00:29and the same with the cattle, the dung goes onto the arable ground
00:32and helps us to reduce bought-in inputs.
00:36The main thing we grow here is barley for whisky.
00:41Quite a lot of it ends up in Glenmorangie as well.
00:43So basically, that barley goes away, they take the spirit out of it,
00:47and the stuff that's left is called draught.
00:50We've got a lorry, I never mention it, we've got a small haulage farm,
00:53and we shift a lot of that, and that can be fed to these guys,
00:57and I do that in the winter.
00:59So it's like a full cycle, the grain leaves the farm,
01:02and then we get this amazing product, whisky,
01:06that's sold round the world and makes a lot of money,
01:09and then we get the by-product back and we feed it to the animals.
