Farmer Trotter

Farmer Trotter is the owner and operator of a pig farm. He also keeps beehives and has been known to herd sheep. According to a magazine article, he also keeps cows and chickens and grows carrots and potatoes. Jem Cole, Terence and Trevor sometimes work on his farm.

Thomas & Friends
Farmer Trotter is good friends with Farmer McColl and Jem Cole. He presumably worked on several other farms before he got his own farm, including Farmer McColl's and another along the Skarloey Railway. He was part of the team that found Duke and has also driven Trevor on occasion.

Farmer Trotter also has his own field which does not appear to be located near his pig farm. The field is occupied by cows which presumably belong to him.

Personality
Farmer Trotter is very proud and upbeat about looking after his very own farm. He is very protective of his pigs and always puts them ahead of himself.

Attire
Farmer Trotter wears a dark green waistcoat over a white short sleeved t-shirt, with brown trousers and black boots.
