AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Bluetongue Watch: Scotland has introduced a temporary control zone near Lockerbie after bluetongue was detected in two lambs, tightening livestock movement under licence and boosting surveillance/testing while vaccine uptake ramps up. Drought & Water Security: DEFRA says the drought response is intensifying as extreme weather continues, with renewed pressure on reservoirs and farm water planning. Farm Crime Crackdown: Police arrested six people in a rural theft sting across Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, seizing suspected stolen plant machinery worth £300,000+. Pollinator-Friendly Farming: New University of Sussex research suggests leaving weeds to flower in late summer can help honeybees when nectar foraging is hardest in August. Renewables vs Farming Land: A legal challenge to the One Earth Solar Farm was rejected, with the project approved despite flood-risk and visual-impact concerns, covering nearly 4,000 acres. Livestock Trade Disruption: Brittany Ferries plans to end livestock transport services from Ireland to mainland Europe from September, raising alarms about capacity for next spring. OSR Planting Advice: Growers are being urged to delay oilseed rape drilling until moisture and ground conditions improve after a dry summer. Rural Community Life: The 162nd Denbigh & Flint Show drew an estimated 18,000 visitors for livestock, countryside displays and family events.
