‘I decided to come into the
business with Andrew and I
now act as farm secretary for all
the accounts and bookkeeping
as well as working with Andrew
on the farm. These past few
years have been very scary and
soul destroying at times. You
worry when there are meetings
with the bank thinking are they
going to tell us to sell up or are
we going to be made bankrupt?
It’s been that bad and has been
frightening especially when you
see the overdraft just growing
bigger and bigger but Yorkshire
Bank has been very supportive
and we now have a consultant
in to help us with cash flows
and budgets. Andrew has
always said that if we can’t
make a living out of 200 cows
it’s a poor do and we have
struggled and haven’t made a
living this last year. It has not
been easy but there is light at
the end of the tunnel.’
Andrew and Alison have
nothing but praise for their
milk buyer, Charlie Payne of
Boroughbridge.
‘Yes, we’re a Charlie’s
Angel,’ says Andrew. ‘We’ve
been with him for many
years and I’ve never wanted
to swap. He works hard for
us and he’s always there to
talk at the other end of the
phone.’
Alison is involved at the
local primary school and both
Lucy and Geoffrey are already
members of Winksley-cum-
Grantley YFC as Alison and
Andrew both were. Andrew is
vice chairman of Ripley Show
and main ring co-ordinator at
Nidderdale Show. They live at
Pasture House opposite the
original Scarah Bank Farm
farmhouse which has been
in the Walmsley family for 58
years and is where Andrew’s
mum, Hilda still lives.
