Country diary: The cows are calving, but TB is still hanging over the farm - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week was an important one as the government’s sustainable farming incentive opened for this year. Thankfully, I was working on my laptop when the email came through, so I submitted an application for us to become an organic farm. Others were not so lucky – the funding ran out after a few hours, and WhatsApp became a catalogue of despair among farmers who missed out and now don’t know how their farm businesses will survive.

Read excerpt
As I walked across the show field in the sunshine on my way to the secretary’s tent, my shepherd’s crook snapped in half. On closer inspection, it was riddled with woodworm – not the best start to a day of judging at the Garstang agricultural show. The event was first held in 1813, and it was an honour to be asked to judge the native sheep this year. I was smartly dressed in tweed and a fedora – and a stick that was hastily cobbled back together by one of the stewards with gaffer tape. It is qui

Garstang, Lancashire: With fedora and broken shepherd’s crook, I was a judge at an agricultural show, inspecting the mouths and fleeces of some fantastic breeds As I walked across the show field in the sunshine on my way to the secretary’s tent, my shepherd’s crook snapped in half.
