Grain growers warned to check storage rules as space comes under pressure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the funniest scenes in the much-loved – and sadly missed – TV series Father Ted involves the eponymous priest trying to explain the difference between ‘small’ and ‘far away’ to his assistant, Father Dougal. “OK, one last time,” says Father Ted to the child-like Father Dougal while they’re singularly failing to enjoy a rainy caravan holiday in the Irish countryside. Holding some small plastic toy cows and comparing them with real ones outside, which are some distance away, he continues his
Scottish Government’s imaginary food security committee reaches a predictable verdict (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The scene – an inclusive, non-discriminatory, respectful (and imaginary) meeting room somewhere in the Scottish Government’s agriculture department headquarters: “Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first meeting of this new committee – and we’ll leave the name which we wish to work under to be addressed further down the agenda. For the first item which the Scottish Government wishes us to reach a decision on is the critical issue of the effect which this year’s extreme weather is having on fo
Red lorry, yellow lorry... where’s my barley lorry? (opens the original)

For those of us of an age to remember the advertising campaign which, for better or for worse, helped boost lager sales in a country more used to downing a pint (or ten) of 80/-, heavy, bitter or mild (depending on which part of the UK you lived in) the witty series of adverts have stuck in the mind. But while the memory of the campaign which first hit our TV screens more than forty years ago â and ran for more than 20 - might still raise a smile, it would be fair to say that in our own indust
Glyphosate curbs could make Scotlandâs harvest even more weather dependent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While the dry spell might have given a good opening for the countryâs winter barley crop to be gathered in, the return to a more mixed outlook - just as many oilseed rape crops are set to go over the cutter bar â highlights the fact that the weather, past, present, and future still holds most of the cards for this yearâs harvest prospects. But the meteorological gods could be set to get an even tighter grip on our short and curlies if, as is expected, the UK signs up to the much-heralded r
