Extensive diversification safeguards Norfolk farm's future

When Luke Paterson took on his family's farm five years ago, he could not have predicted the economic shocks which were to follow.
But despite Brexit, harvest disasters and a worldwide pandemic, the business has thrived - thanks to a diversification strategy which has equipped it with new incomes and the resilience to ride out the storms of an ever-changing industry.
Mr Paterson is the fourth generation of his family to farm at Dilham Hall, near North Walsham.
He bought his brother Joe out of the business in 2016 - a move which itself was only possible due to the security of income from his brokerage firm Paterson Ag, which recently celebrated its tenth anniversary.
