Hello all - I thought I'd do a bit of ad hoc research to find out how people use the forums.
One thing I wondered is do people come here direct or do you tend to come via the homepage of Farmers Weekly Interactive? The reason I ask is would you like a summary of the news headlines here - or have you already seen them by the time you get here?
Any other observations you have about the forums, blogs and galleries - feel free to comment. They are obviously vastly improved on the old system but they are still 'work in progress'. There are some little niggles that still need ironing out but we haven't forgotten them (weirdly it is the small things that sounds like they should be easy to solve that are proving the trickiest!)
For any newbies out there (and we've had lots signing up in recent weeks), it is my job to answer any queries you might have (although sadly they make me do other stuff too! 
) so do feel free to get in touch if you want to.

PS. Alternatively, I can find us another advert to amuse us all. You decide!
This has absolutely nothing to do with farming but I can't resist highlighting it. If only we could have some milk adverts like this one...
I have to say how much I am enjoying He his-self's blog posts from China. While FWiSpace's main purpose is for people to talk about farming issues and concerns sometimes it is nice to hear about wider issues. Farmers are people/consumers/taxpayers too!
