New farmer's all-year round crop

Five turbines on the farm produce electricity for the National Grid

A Cambridgeshire farmer who wanted a distinctive place of his own has fulfilled a lifetime ambition.

Chris Aspden, 32, has moved with his family into Red Tile Farm, a 90-hectare (222 acres) holding near Warboys, which has five of its own wind turbines.

Cambridgeshire County Council own the land and the new tenant will look after an all year round crop as the turbines supply power to the National Grid.

His other crops are going to be wheat, oil seed rape, sugar beet and potatoes.

Mr Aspden, his partner Natasha and their four-year-old son, have moved to the farm which includes a three-bedroom house and a range of buildings.

The turbines generate income for the Cambridgeshire County Council Farms, which is the largest public owned agricultural estate of its kind in England.

The estate has 240 tenants working more than 13,500 hectares (30,000 acres) of land.
