Alternative Watering: A farmers Journey

Robert Ramsay a farmer and beef consultant with SAC consulting installed a solar alternative watering system on his farm in 2020. Robert had worked closely with Farming and Water Scotland through his work as a consultant and had seen the benefits that it can bring to a farming system. The new system has allowed him to remove livestock from the burn, giving him piece of mind when it comes to water quality, while also increasing the potential for improved grazing on the farm.

Scotland’s Farm Advisory Service (FAS) is part of the Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) which is co-funded by the EU and Scottish Government, providing information and resources aimed at increasing the profitability and sustainability of farms and crofts.
