“A mixed farm, all store land, young stores are bought and sold off at 2 ½ - 3 years and heifers as downcalvers. More than half the farm is on Burton Wold and 259 acres has been requisitioned and a cottage; 151 acres remain of which 130 is arable. The flock of 200 ewes has had to be sold. The land is level and suited to arable cultivation – mole draining was prevented by the requisitioning. The heavy grassland needs liming & slagging.
Under the heading: Has farmer grazing rights over land not occupied by him the answer states: "31 acres grass keeping – J. Bennie April – December taken because of W.D. requisition.”

“A flattish field which slopes to the brook and is liable to flooding. It has an open shed and is used for the grazing of trade horses. Since June 1941 the brook has been cleaned and straightened, and this has probably removed the liability of flooding.”

“This is a mixed farm, a great part of it was in a bad condition when recently taken over by the present tenant who has energetically tackled ditches & hedges and improved the farm with better cultivations and until 184 acres – the Glendon Lodge Farm – was requisitioned by the War Department he was reclaiming derelict bush land. This work has now been postponed until its release by the W.D. Some basic slag is used on the grassland and basic slag and compounds used on the arable land.
