Agri Culture - Pete Black: The Superpower of Dyslexia

Scotland's Farm Advisory Service Podcast

Mary-Jane Lawrie is joined by Pete Black of Collessie Feeds and Newton of Colessie Farm.

Pete Black farms at Newton of Collessie with his parents and brother. They run a successful diversified farming business with arable, commercial cattle, pedigree sheep and Clydesdales, alongside Collessie Feeds. We chatted about the farm business and the various enterprises and the family’s time on This Farming Life. Whilst appearing on This Farming Life Pete mentioned that he had dyslexia which led to him becoming an ambassador for RSABI to help them promote their dyslexia in farming campaign. Pete talks openly about how dyslexia affects his day-to-day life and how he has adapted to find ways to make running his business easier.
