Govt. Now announcing a new grant scheme encouraging financial services and investors onto the land. Can't quite see how land managers benefit other that taking the carbon credit penny. . . maybe :unsure: . Or am I missing something...
Food packaging has always been one of the biggest factors in the route to market for many products. The packaging industry is very influential in food product development.
It will be interesting to see how this spat pans out -...
Couple of conversations on TFF last few days have had people thinking about farm inputs.
Are the best inputs "coiled up" , "in a tin" , "home grown" , or should they just "fall from the sky" ?
What's your best input?
I think water pipe and electric fencing.

Just listening to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on the radio and can't help but think that a 'food education' aspect would add an extra, but logical, dimension to Groundswell.
Not only would it help promote healthy food and eating but also demonstrate to decision and policy makers (and...
I'll just stick this here rather than lose it in another thread. Just take 10 minutes out of your day to read and digest. You'll feel better for it

Has Dr Mark Carney just signalled a new golden opportunity for land managers and possibly farmers) to manage corporations carbon off-setting? Or Has he just underpinned the financial value of land?
ELMS is nearly upon us ,but none of us know exactly how it will hinder or benefit us (or the environment) either financially or practically. DEFRA don't know either.
What messages and advice do we need to send out to the politicians, advisors, media and influencers to make sure that farming and...
Is there anyone out there who has a pallet collection service?
We have a stock of pallets on the yard, perfectly good, many only used once. However delivery drivers wont take them back.
Seems such a waste

On a project at the moment and we've 8 cubicles left, but run out of fixings. These are the clamps that hold the cubicle to the front hanging rails
Anyone got any spare, leftover after their project?
We are planning to put a woodburner into our new (to us) barn conversion home.
Are we best running the flue straight up through the ceiling, through the bedroom and through the roof. Or out the back ,of the burner at 90⁰, through the 3' thick wall and up the outside, with an s-bend to miss the...

An interesting view put forward here.
I've posted in the holistic section as it requires some deep thinking, rather than flippant reaction. However, it is probably more relevant in ALL of the main conventional sections of the forum

Surely we could turn this round into a PR opportunity?
Or should we be seriously considering entry? :rolleyes:
Are there any resources out there that are reasonably well structured lesson plans meeting national curriculum needs that are agriculturally/food centred?
Given the current rush in interest for local food, farm shops, butchers and dairies have been overwhelmed with support.
There is a captive...
Watching the news tonight, there's a stark contrast between the 4000 bed Nightingale hospital in London
and the half hearted 'scout camp' in Central Park NY.
Somehow I do feel that New Yorkers really have drawn the short straw now. :oops:
Where would you rather be treated?
My parents live about an hour away in Crewe. Mum's prescription medications ran out this week and she walked to the chemist 3 days running to pick up prescription ' that wasn't ready yet'. :banghead:
No matter how much I tried I couldn't get any response from the pharmacy to let us know of...
For some time now mono-culture has been looked upon as a bad agricultural practice. Whilst we all agree with the practical benefits it gives regarding production operations, I think the vast majority of us have seen unintended consequences.
To that end the industry has been actively seeking to...
About a month ago I was quite confident that the RegenAg / Holistic management message was beginning to filter through into mainstream Ag.
However, the outlook for food production/consumption is now looking drastically different.
