What August Means for a British Farmer.


So, we have reached the peak of summer; this month sees the start of the preparation for next year with autumn on the horizon, Ploughing begins for the next batch of crops. The combine harvesters are out in force as the main tool for crop harvesting. The lambs born during the spring will start to be weaned during August and the coming months and will be grazing on the fields 
In Equine Wellness it would be good to know the signs of heat stress, without taking the proper steps heat stress could be really dangerous for your horses. Become accustomed to the signs of heat stress which include weakness, stumbling & increased temperature. To help counteract this it could be a good idea to provide access to copious amounts of fresh water, salt or mineral blocks, and a well-ventilated barn. 
Keep an eye out next month, for our September preview.

Organic Farming

Non-organic food production promotes the use of pesticides and chemicals which can pollute water and the environment by making their way into the food chain. Many pesticides don’t just kill the target pest, they can affect other wildlife by contaminating watercourses or disrupting ecosystems. In contrast, Organic farming doesn’t allow any synthetic pesticides and herbicides. Research suggests that if all UK farming was organic, pesticide use would drop by 98%! Meaning that organic farms are a haven for wildlife. In organic farming, natural alternatives are used to control pests and disease.
