The August 2013 edition of FarmingUK Magazine leads with the story of British farmers calling for Fairtrade accreditation, just as farmers in other countries do. The foundation, itself, says it has decided to concentrate its efforts with producers in developing countries.
There is also news of the most severe season since 2001 in the UK, as wheat area is down 19%.
Page 17 of the magazine features a video of the new Farmer Automatic multi-tier units that are helping a Yorkshire free range egg producer improve performance!
Also inside is advice on how to kill thistles instead of just topping them, a story on how surveillance cameras are being used to monitor badgers on farms, an upate on the Court of Appeal's rejection of HS2 challenges, and much, much more!
