We are urgently developing research requirements with other European laboratories to make sure we understand and the disease (Schmallenberg) better.Teresa Rush
I’m Farmers Guardian’s arable editor. I’ve been reporting on the arable sector for 21 years, following completion of a National Diploma in Agriculture at the Derbyshire College of Agriculture and a degree in Agricultural Marketing at UCW Aberystwyth. I work from home in a small village in south Suffolk, surrounded by rolling arable fields and am married to a farm sprayer operator, so arable farming is a big part of my life. I continue to be fascinated by the diversity and dynamism of the arable sector and feel privileged to be bringing arable news to farmers. In my spare time I walk (a good way of looking a other people’s crops), compete in the odd triathlon, read, and speak French (badly).
