    The Genetics of a Survivor

    Episode three of Goodyear Farm Tires’ Talking Crop podcast takes us to Crewe to meet the Hughes family. Clayhanger Hall Farm has been in the family for more than a century, with current owners Dennis and Rachel Hughes taking the helm in 2002. Some 16 years later, their two children - Andrew and Emma - returned to the farm with their families to further strengthen the team. Their dairy operations see them have a milking herd of more than 300 cows, with a specific focus on genetics, maximising herd size and improving milk production. The Hughes contingent were finalists in the Family Farming Business of the Year  category at the British Farming Awards last year. The Talking Crop podcast is produced by Goodyear Farm Tires.
