    Council Tennancies

    Friends of ours have just had their application for a council tenancy rejected, the reason given being that "They aren't involved in agriculture enough."

    Countryfile Outrage?!

    I didn't see the episode of course, in fact I question if this is for real, but are people in the UK so divorced from the reality of food production that the simple act of "butchery" is now too offensive for TV...

    Cost of production

    So, I have been asked to give a presentation on UK agriculture at a national Australian agronomy conference. (Not sure how I get myself into these situations).
