Nature Friendly Farming Network says farmers could face an 'enormous' funding gap as Countryside Stewardships come to an end

Orkney farmer Charles (Charlie) Gorn, who died in November 2023 at 82 years old, has left a £470,000 legacy from his estate to Scottish agricultural charity, RSABI

Having managed the estate for two decades, Alex Ward saw Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) as a great opportunity to boost nature across the landscape while incorporating sustainable farming and unlocking a new income stream for the estate.

Monitor and measure are the two aspects of udder health management, according to veterinary consultant at the University of Nottingham, Dr James Breen.

24-year-old Exeter young farmer Elle Slade said it made sense to go into calf rearing due to the low acreage requirement. She said her new venture was her way of bringing something back to the family farm
