  • Adaptability and change are at the heart of farming

    Author Name: Phil Stocker It’s challenging, inspiring, and very tiring, and I always find the Soil Association conference ‘re-fuels’ me for the rest of the year. On the way home I got to thinking about the journey I had been on over nearly 40 years working in farming, and how that related...

  • Survey for ALL FARMERS

    Hi, I'm a third year BSc (Hons) Agriculture Business Management student from Writtle College. My dissertation is investigating farmers’ awareness of consumer buying behaviour of organic products. If you are a farmer, farm manager or farm owner of any kind, I would be most grateful if you could spare...

  • The day I met a proper journalist

    Had I not chosen a career path which had taken me down a bizarre route into a niche avenue of journalism, I would have like to have become a proper writer on a national newspaper. Like John Pilger, perhaps. Or Jay Rayner. Y’know, Jay Rayner. The one who’s the stunt double for Marco Pierre...

  • Chewy and viscous

    I promise to blog about the Soil Association conference properly at some point (I’ll be putting my ranting hat on – be warned), but in the meantime I thought I’d share this with you. One of the rather nice perks of going to the SA conference is the conference goodie bag. As the event...

  • Fighting fire with fire – how farming won’t win friends

    I had several failed attempts at starting a blog before I really got my teeth into writing this one (and I probably only stuck with this because I paid for the domain name and, being northern, I hate seeing money go to waste). It’s not that I lost perseverance in writing posts, it’s because...

  • Liar, liar, non-organic pants on fire

    Since I started working in agricultural media, I’ve never been particularly impressed with the Soil Association’s often simplistic arguments that organic farming is superior to conventional food production. I had wondered whether the organisation had grown up a bit when, at its annual conference...

  • New sheep business plan

    I am considering setting up a new farming business producing organic lamb based on the STAR system, with 354 ewes divided into 3 sub-flocks lambing a total of 5 times in a year. I am limited by the capacity of my lambing shed to 118 ewes per lambing season and I am struggling to work out the minimum...
