A pioneering eco-conscious farmer who works the same land Rabbie Burns once did has saved his business by going green

.

He was working at car giant Mercedes-Benz when triple tragedies struck the family. His dad and grandfather – who Bryce called Papa – were both diagnosed with terminal illnesses in quick succession, leading him to move back to Mossgiel. "At that time, I had just moved into the farmhouse, and with no milk buyer for our milk, we had to sell all the cows, sell the machinery and were basically left with 28 Ayrshire cows – the same as what Papa had in 1948, weirdly [when he took over Mossgiel].”

It was after that he began to ­seriously think about overhauling the entire way Mossgiel did business. They couldn’t afford fertilisers to spray the land, or cereals and grains for the cows, so the farm became organic and the animals grass-fed.
