Grain storage and diversification: Warrington

During this session together with Bill Basford we'll be looking at grain storage options including the diversification of existing buildings on the farm.

We'll start at Robert's farm, before moving on to Grappenhall Ex Servicemens Club, Chester Road, Grappenhall, Warrington WA4 2QG, at around 12 noon.
