We are urgently developing research requirements with other European laboratories to make sure we understand and the disease (Schmallenberg) better.Joanne Pugh
I am the livestock editor at Farmers Guardian, which means I cover all the latest advice on health, fertility and nutrition for all ruminants. My life with FG began in 2003 when I was embarked on a six-week work’s experience placement and never left! I have spent time writing news and features before finding my niche is 2006, taking on my current role and embracing lots of technical livestock information. I grew up on a mixed farm near Ludlow and return to Shropshire most weekends to continue my involvement with the local YFC. In fact, between that and travelling all over the country for FG, I spend more time in my car than in my house – and my car boot certainly contains more clothes than my wardrobe does!
