Dear Duchy of Lancaster,

I would like to know the percentage of agricultural land owned by the Duchy is used for organic agriculture. If you don't hold that information, I would like to know the percentage of farms owned by the Duchy that use organic agricultural methods.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Fenton

Tim Crow, Duchy of Lancaster
