| Oldfield Agricultural Contractors History Stuart Oldfield set up his contracting business in 1980 after graduating from the Lancashire College of Agriculture. Although not originally from a farming background Stuart followed his late father’s interest in Agricultural Engineering through his involvement with David Brown Tractors at Meltham, in Huddersfield. Stuart’s father Fred spent the majority of his working life as an engineer with David Brown Tractors and it was this involvement with tractors that sparked off Stuart’s interest, leading to his career in Agriculture. Intitially the business started by offering a livestock service and Stuart gained much experience working with some substantial dairy and sheep businesses within the UK. Gradually the business developed and Stuart decided in the early 80's to invest in machinery in order to widen the services he could offer. A basic line up of operations was offered to include forage harvesting, ploughing and drilling. These original services have been developed over the years and now include a much wider range of grassland and arable operations and also several specialist services alongside to compliment them. In 1990 a liaison was formed with a fertiliser company in the north of England to offer a liquid fertiliser spreading service which Stuart later developed by adding on a sales agency for the Yorkshire area. To this day the business has matured to offer a whole range of agricultural services and operations to meet the needs of the progressive landowner and farmer. |
