Storm Babet has made the pitch unplayable and winter has well and truly kicked in for livestock farms all around the country. Lots of Maize has yet to be harvested, while the drilling of winter cereals has come to a standstill.
A challenging year continues to throw up more curveballs for our industry, all while we are being rolled out as the destroyers of the planet. As an industry, we need to be more vocal in letting the consumer know all of the changes we have made to our business practices to comply with environmental responsibilities.
