Sustainable farming is our goal
Here at Middlebank Farm rooted in the fertile soils of the Carse of Gowrie, Taylor Farms combine nearly a century of farming expertise with modern practices and precision to grow quality produce while ensuring we maintain and nurture the land for generations to come. We use traditional farming values along with today's modern technology to produce premium crops such as wheat, malting barley, oil seed rape, vining peas and seed potatoes, all while acting as responsible stewards of the Scottish countryside.
We are not just growers; we are partners in the food chain. As a key supplier for our sister company, Taylor Snacks, we specialise in growing the high-quality seed potatoes that eventually become your favourite crisps. This unique 'seed to snack' relationship allows us to maintain total traceability and only the best varieties are grown.
Along with our own farming enterprise, G. C. Taylor Farms also offer contract services to suit most of the local arable operations in the Carse of Gowrie and immediate surrounding area.

Arable Tillage & Seedbed Preparation
Our arable tillage operations provide a comprehensive suite of cultivation techniques tailored to specific soil requirements. We offer a full spectrum of services, from traditional deep-plough inversion and strategic sub-soiling to alleviate compaction, to modern minimum-tillage methods using low-disturbance machinery to preserve soil carbon. Our fleet includes high-performance serrated discs and twin-row tine cultivators with double DD packers, capable of transforming heavy ground in a single efficient pass.
Specialist Agronomy & Integrated Farm Management
Beyond core contracting, we provide bespoke agronomy packages designed to integrate seamlessly with your farm’s productivity objectives. Whether you require expert oversight for a specific contract or a comprehensive ‘stubble-to-stubble’ management programme, we work closely with you to plan, monitor, and execute every phase for optimal performance. We also collaborate effectively with independent agronomists, ensuring all operations are fully documented for your compliance records.
High-Capacity Arable Harvesting Solutions
Our harvesting operations are anchored by a high-capacity Claas Lexion 7600TT, equipped with 710mm Terra Tracks and a 9.3m (30’) header to ensure maximum throughput and rapid clearance. To maintain peak efficiency, the combine can be supported by twin 16-tonne Bailey grain trailers fitted with extra-wide flotation tyres.
