River Wye phosphorus study challenges case for destocking - Farmers Weekly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New farm-level data from the River Wye catchment has challenged assumptions about agricultural phosphorus surpluses, with seven in 10 farms recording a zero or negative balance. The two-year FarmGate Nutrient Balance Programme assessed 145 holdings covering more than 28,000ha, using actual farm inputs and outputs rather than catchment-scale modelling. Across the farms, the average phosphorus balance was effectively neutral at -0.5kg P/ha, compared with historic Rephokus modelling estimating a su
Editor's View: Farmers need honesty from government, not PR - Farmers Weekly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is an understandable obsession in modern politics with controlling the narrative. Tony Blair’s government elevated media management to a near-science with its hallowed “grid” – the forward planner designed to ensure everyone in government was selling the right message at the right time. Then came comedy show The Thick of It, where the machinery became satire, with ministers terrified of deviating from the line, advisers obsessing over tomorrow’s headlines and Malcolm Tucker permanently inc

Farmers could face higher premiums, tighter exclusions and growing gaps in insurance cover as extreme weather and increasingly complex farm businesses reshape agricultural risk, insurers have warned. New research suggests farmers are already exposed to losses that conventional insurance either cannot cover or does not adequately reflect, with drought, heat and waterlogging among the concerns.

Private money, public goods – are farmers in control? - Farmers Weekly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Private finance has been touted for decades as a way of bringing new money into agriculture while helping businesses secure more resilient supply chains and meet environmental commitments. Now, it is becoming a more important part of the government’s vision for farm support. The 25-year Farming Roadmap, published by Defra in June, envisages a greater role for private funding as Environmental Land Management (ELM) evolves beyond 2030, with taxpayer cash increasingly focused where markets cannot d
