Farm Business

Farmers and the Scottish Government must take positive action to avoid what NFU Scotland president Martin Kennedy described as the ’car crash’ of England’s Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme.

Government has put a ‘handbrake’ on the UK’s ability to produce British food by refusing to fix or even acknowledge the industry’s structural issues, according to farm leaders.

A farming partnership has been fined £53,000 after a farm worker was fatally injured in an incident involving a telehandler within the pig barn.

Low-grade livestock land suitable for tree planting was catching the eye of investors

The Immigration Minister, Kevin Foster, has refused to accept there is a crisis in the pig sector caused by labour shortages.

A farmer has issued a warning to anyone about to sign an access agreement.

Farmers feeling ’betrayed’ by the Government have taken to the streets urging all MPs to support British agriculture and uphold standards.

The UK faces a ’deepening food supply chain crisis’ if the Government does not take urgent and meaningful action to fix industry’s structural issues.
