I hope you have all had a happy and peaceful festive season. It is mid-January and the hustle and bustle of the Christmas turkey rush seems like a long and distant memory.

Winter might have been a bit late in coming this year – here in the Scottish Borders the grass was still growing in November – but when it did it definitely came with a bang, or should I say storm.

Farming matters: Revered Geoff Dodgson - 'Would modern cribs be made of stainless steel and the cattle have eartags?'

In your field: James Lacey - 'I hope everyone is ready for a merry Christmas'

Farming matters: Adam Bedford - 'Time to invest properly and level up our rural areas'

Last week I visited farmers in Northumberland to see for myself the devastation caused by Storm Arwen on farms across the North.

In your field: Rachel Coates - 'I've been getting into training for the #Run1000'

I had to go over to a nearby market town, running a couple of errands. It happens to also be the town I grew up in.
