Farmers Guardian podcast: Tenant-landlord relationships: Castle Howard Estate and the Scottish Tenant Farming Commissioner

With farm tenant and landlord relationships in the spotlight in recent months, the Farmers Guardian podcast spoke to the CLA, a tenant and landlord from the Castle Howard Estate and the Scottish Tenant Farming Commissioner Dr Bob McIntosh.

Positive, collaborative tenant-landlord relationships and collaboration will provide benefits to both parties with Castle Howard tenant Michael Fargher highlighting the good long-term relationship help with his landlord.

Jasper Hasell, estate chief executive said the estate also benefitted from that closer relationship which helped them run other parts of the business alongside the farms.

Judicaelle Hammond, director of policy and advice at the CLA, said it was beneficial to see positive relationships as often the relationships are in the spotlight when things go wrong while Dr Bob McIntosh spoke about his role in promoting and encouraging good relations between landlords and tenants.
