Johnnie Balfour
Chair
Johnnie is the managing partner of Balbirnie Home Farms. They have a commercial herd of cattle and are Pasture for Life certified. Johnnie is driving a process of change to integrate these livestock increasingly in their arable rotation using cover crops and mob grazing in order to cycle nutrients and establish good breaks from cereals.
He is passionate about PfL and what it represents in terms of food quality. He is excited for what PfL producers can do for land management to demonstrate environmental, cultural as well as economic best practice. As PfL grows there will be an increasing need to demonstrate good financial management.
In his former career, Johnnie trained as a chartered accountant and worked in both Edinburgh and Boston as an external auditor.
