G'day everyone! I am from Australia and we have had a horrifically wet start to our cropping season I have been unable to plant 300ha or there about of my annual program. I am now looking to grow something in the early spring instead on those unspent hectares. Sunflowers seem like a good one to...

Another well written piece by the Guardian and I note it's been pointed out we have the lowest food prices in Europe, not a word arguing against increases.
Not that there's a...

George Monbiot loves to reference his rambling articles in the Guardian with 'facts' he's found on Google. And the week, as usual, he's pointing the finger of blame for all the worlds ills on farmers, and quoting TFF with regard to the river Lugg incident...

A mild autumn enabled crops to establish well and develop quickly but a cold, dry winter has reduced some early gains, according to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
In its latest crop development update for England...
Hello,
I wanted to get in touch about the news that Tesco wrote to suppliers last week explaining it would introduce new Amazon-style 'fulfilment fees' applied to each item sold on Tesco.com, Tesco.ie and through its app to help cover rising online costs.

Farmers across the country annually hang their livelihoods on the potential of tiny seeds to transform into cornstalks taller than the grower who planted them. The same goes for soybean plants so thick and full you can barely distinguish the rows between them. It’s this potential that keeps...

Wye oh Wye…?
The River Wye intertwines the border of England and-Wales. Once the nations “favourite” river it now probably has more designations than actual fish and continues to regularly feature in the media as the poster girl for agricultural pollution. In this article I hope to provide some...

Sencrop and Frontier Agriculture have joined forces to roll out a UK-wide network of connected weather stations, helping farmers and their agronomists to make better crop management decisions.

Been in a meeting today with Defra and ELMS is being pulled imminently. SFI is being pulled into CS and the new scheme will be called CS PLUS.
