Long down the regenerative route, AHDB’s Strategic Farm South plans to help other arable farms to not make the same mistakes it did during the transition.

Growers are being urged to hold their nerve in bad black-grass fields.

Predicted increased rainfall means an arable conversion is ‘unlikely’ for livestock farmers in current predominantly livestock regions.

Using sheep to graze oilseed rape has helped one Midlands grower reduce pesticide use and, with careful management, not compromise yields.

Potato cyst nematode (PCN) is already costing the seed potato sector £25 million per year, but this figure could rise to £125m per year.

To assist growers at the start of their carbon reduction journey, ADAS has announced the return of the crop carbon benchmarking network YEN Zero for 2022/2023.

Focusing on your soil has the potential to take you on a magnificent regenerative journey, says Dr Vincent Walsh, founder of The RegenFarmCo.

After one of the quickest and most straightforward harvests on record in most areas, the downside of the recent record temperatures and negligible rain is hard, dry soils. Jane Carley explores how to manage them.

Farmers and growers who use regenerative farming practices can now apply for a new stamp to certify their sustainability credentials.
