The battle of the blogs is hotting up here on FWi.
For those of you who need a reminder, two of Farmers Weekly's bloggers are going head to head.
In the red corner, it's Matthew Naylor with his blog The Longer View. In the blue corner, it's Tim Relf with his Field Day blog.
Both are spending what some might say is an unnatural amount of time searching out stories in a bid to make their blogs more interesting and so boost readership by the most in a month.
Matthew’s strategy is to stick to writing about the subjects he knows best – flowers, sausages and potatoes.
“I have concluded that the reason that I'm not getting as many readers as Tim is that I'm just not giving you enough potato statistics,” he jokes.
Biosecurity has also been on Matthew’s mind after a recent trip abroad – on his return he was fearing “a full cavity search in front of all the terrorists, illegal immigrants and rabies sufferers driving past just to make an example of me!”
Meanwhile, Tim taking the view is that when it comes to blogging, variety is the spice of life. So this week we’ve seen posts on England rugby captain Phil Vickery (he’s got a strong farming pedigree and a strange tattoo), the Great Storm of 1987 and a piglet drinking a cup of tea.
Who’s going to win? You decide.
