Farmers in the UK are going to come under ‘increasing pressure’ if they continue to ramp up food production unnecessarily, chairman of the Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN) Martin Lines has warned.

The ongoing saga of footpath signs continues.

A farmer has died in a tragic slurry incident.

A recent spate of crimes relating to the theft of livestock has promoted calls for farmers and rural communities to remain vigilant. 

A self-employed worker has died after falling from a cattle shed roof.
