every other news organisation except bbc site

Because unless it affects members of staff or it's a slow news day, what happens in most of the country is of no interest to them.

But to be fair, national news should only feature items of national importance.

food production and next years harvest is of national importance

On a large enough scale, it should be.
But we live in a world where news is whatever gets the most 'clicks' or shares.

Said exactly the same when I was around Halifax and Keighley last weekend

 

[Kidds]

I've been watching a lot of FB and Instagram videos of the events and destruction in North Carolina as a result of Hurricane Helene last weekend.
Count your blessings, what they have experienced is beyond words.

Currently in the driest spell we've had all summer here

Sure you’re not looking at the shore? Have another look in 6hours….

Tide will be out

 

[firther]

i've said about reservoirs being low around here, even though springs that dry up have run all summer. Which probably means we havnt enough reservoirs to hold water for the ever expanding population

 

[Tarw Coch]

Our we is struggling to produce enough water for the cattle last couple of weeks even with them still out and access to a brook.
It usually struggles in the autumn, down to the point of producing virtually nothing on a dry year , I’m just surprised it’s struggling this year

 

[bluebell]

More interested in covering other stories in the world ,just like stirmer, seems to be far more interested in helping other countries and their people than us and our rapidly declining UK ?

Used to be maybe not now

You would have thought so, but there again look at what they play in the segment during the run up to the news24 with all the short clips of reporters out and about. Not one rural shot in what can be a minute long piece.

 

[Wolds Beef]

Of course they are not.!! That would put pressure on the EA. See Wardys Waffle released last night. They have not repaired some of the breaches that occured last winter. Apparentlly they can not afford to repair them. EA is not fit for purpose and we need the old River Authority back and we need to DREDGE the main water courses. It is not rocket science. Sir Josheph Banks helped drain a lot of the Lincolnshire Fens in his time and will be turning in his grave.

Not in the UK, but did anyone see the report about flooding in Florida where a man's EV was submerged by tidal water , caught fire then burned his house down ? Can't see the BBC covering that one.
