Written by Tim Relf (you can find out more about him here), with occasional postings from Rachel Jones, Field Day is the place to come for a slice of rural life.
The gateposts to Field Day are wide - we blog on anything with a rural slant from the length and breadth of our countryside, and sometimes even further. Think famous farmers, naked farmers, food, fishing, real-life, wildlife, vegetables, videos and sometimes even videos about vegetables.
So whether you're an ag student, a seasoned farmer, an aspiring smallholder or a city dweller who just loves a bit of fresh air - then Field Day is for you.

I'm a journalist and novelist.
I grew up in the countryside and studied Agricultural Business Management before joining Farmers Weekly in the mid-1990s (I was obviously only six at the time!)
Since then, I've done a variety of jobs on the title, currently editing the Farmlife section of the magazine and the Rural Living area of the website.
I'm fascinated by the quirkier aspects of our weird and wonderful countryside, so launched this blog as a place to feature these stories. Here are five quick facts about me:
* I used to keep ferrets (and, no, I never put them down my trousers)
* My favourite country walk is a circuit of the beautiful Derwent Water in Cumbria
* I've had two novels published by Piatkus and Time Warner in the UK and the US.
* The most bizarre journalistic assignment I've ever done was filming six burly rural guys stripping in a village hall in Cumbria
* I was once commissioned by Radio 4's Today programme to write a poem about polytunnels
Hope you enjoy Field Day. I'd love to hear from you - so let me know if there's anything you'd like to see me cover more of (or, indeed, less of). Email me at tim.relf@rbi.co.uk
