Countryside Stewardship

BROWN & CO IS COVID-SECURE

Since February, Brown & Co have been taking every reasonable step we can to ensure all our business is conducted in a way that minimises the risk of the spread of Covid-19 to our employees, customers, clients and contractors.

We can confirm all our offices and all our employees' working practices adhere to the government's Covid-Secure standards and safer working practices. We are 'Covid Secure'.

We offer evaluation and advice on the suitability of the new Countryside Stewardship schemes and guidance of which tier is right for your farm business. We will ensure we maximise income and environmental benefits without restricting the farm business.

We base our schemes on maximising financial and environmental benefit, whilst increasing agricultural efficiency. All of our advisors have access to the latest, accurate mapping software and state of the art GPS equipment to ensure accuracy.
