Dyson Farming

Technology and innovation lie at the heart of modern farming; enabling farmers to boost productivity, increase efficiency and use fewer chemicals. The increasingly symbiotic relationship between Dyson Farming and Dyson Technology can yield new approaches which drive sustainability and performance, underpinning our circular farming model. Our state-of-the-art glasshouse is an example of our plans to invest in innovative structures and systems that support the production of high-quality British fo

“Dyson Farming is the first company in the UK to use this technology commercially, and we will continue to advance and refine its capabilities.”

The stunning locations of our farms and estates have plenty to offer.

Over the last few years we have established an extensive owl box scheme across our farms in Lincolnshire. For three years, we have been collecting data on the successes and failures of the boxes and keeping track of where the locations work best.

At Dyson Farming, we have developed and implemented our own approach to carbon management which is now an integral part of our every-day farming activities and fundamental to how we monitor and measure performance. Crucially, this has taught us that by challenging ourselves to become better farmers, we can continue to have a positive impact on our carbon footprint.

We are excited to announce that Dyson Farming has been granted permission to construct a state of the art 6ha glasshouse with associated infrastructure at our farm in Carrington. This is a big step toward achieving our ambition for a high output, lower input farming model with technology and data at the core.

Much has been written about the difficulties of the 2020 harvest and no doubt more will be penned going forward as the reality of the yields and costs hit profit and loss accounts in the next 12 months.

We were thrilled to hear the announcement from DEFRA that Dyson Farming’s environmental team have been named winners of the Bees’ Needs Champions Awards in the farming category. Ian Willoughby, Environmental Coordinator, also received special mention in the annual awards that recognise and celebrate exemplary initiatives to support pollinators.

BBC Countryfile visited the Nocton Farm at the end of May 2018 to interview Sir James Dyson and take a look at some of the technology and initiatives employed on our farms. Over the next few weeks we are going to take a more in-depth look at some of the topics that were discussed during the program:

Following the recent addition of two new units, the Dyson Farming haulage team now operates a fleet of five lorries and a range of different trailers equipped to carry various commodities. The integration of the fleet has been a great success in reducing the number of tractors travelling through local towns and villages. The team prides itself on the values of safety and efficiency; operating our own haulage means that produce can be taken to market on our own terms and in a way that limits the

We are very proud that our roasting joints, ribeye and sirloin steaks have recently been recognised as GOLD award winners at the Taste of the West Awards. Our beef is produced at Hinton Farm in Somerset.

He is a dynamic leader and believes strongly in encouraging the professional development of his team and providing opportunities for all to showcase their talents.

We responsibly manage, monitor and nurture the natural environment, biodiversity and resources that surround Dyson Farming land.

At Dyson Farming, we grow both food crops and energy crops. Crops such as maize, rye, barley allows us to implement a sustainable crop rotation, with diversity of cropping improving soil health, reducing weed burden and improving the utilisation of fixed costs. Applications of the by-product of anaerobic digestion back to the land increases its fertility and organic matter.

Dyson Farming work closely with Dyson Engineers, using new technologies and ingenuity to grow produce responsibly and at scale, while also nurturing the natural environment and biodiversity.
