Wendy writes July 2026 A TRANSPLANT AT LAST Not everyone knows this but being the big and powerful girl I am, I need two batteries to get me going. Joined positive to negative 2 x 12 volts = 24 which is what I need to start. Although in fact to be honest I don’t really need any batteries to bring my engine to life, a tug on my necklace I can fire up without electrical assistance. Without batteries though I am not road legal, I have no lights, indicators or a Mr Whippy to tell other road users I am on the move.

Anyway after months of being in a grump and feeling uncooperative by refusing to start he bought me one new battery. Initially this was enough to get me going and I was at last moved from the place I had sat outside since March to a shed with a roof, but the one new battery seems incompatible with the old one and this week I was down again wanting the old one replaced.

MULTICUT 460 At last I have done some work, I haven’t had a pull since a shed was moved here on March 19th. On July 3rd, that is 15 weeks or 105 days later, I pulled shed 4 here. That is the longest period without work I have ever had. Then more bad news I heard yesterday, through the pages of this August magazine, he has sold the rearing shed to a farmer in Wales. That is another nail in my coffin. The rearing shed was new in 2007, the same year I came to live here. I have moved it more times than I care to remember, and now it is going to be dismantled and moved for the third and final time as far as I am 2x SPEARHEAD MULTICUT TOPPERS concerned.

HIRE £195 / day I look forward to seeing you all at the Border Union Show, with two new SANDYSTONES HIRE In a shed at last. Flat battery, oil leak batteries I hope and a fixed 07759 530013 / 07703 571291 and air loss - oh the joys of old age hole in my brake pipes.

ENHANCED GRAIN TREATMENT LONG-TERM GRAIN STORAGE INCREASED PROTEIN – Lower feed costs INCREASED pH – Alkaline & safer to feed INCREASED PERFORMANCE

SIMPLE, ECONOMICAL & POWERFUL FEEDING SPECIAL EDR DISCOUNT AVAILABLE FOR EARLY ORDERS

With feed prices set to remain high, making the most of home-grown cereals and reducing the reliance on bought in feed protein will be essential to minimise feed costs this year.

However, this does not have to be complicated or at the expense of performance. Treating cereals with ALpHA at harvest, or all year round with ALpHA365, not only increases the protein content of grain but also increases its pH to 9, allowing you to feed higher levels of alkaline starch to help maintain rumen health and increase the performance of dairy, beef and sheep of all ages and stages.

Approved Dealers for Honda ATV, Kawasaki Mules and Logic Equipment Sales (New & Used) - Keith Robertson - 07920 747 057 - Robbie Robson - 07918 558 180

Cheaper, Safer, Higher Performance. Sound to good to be true? The very real benefits of adopting a simpler, more powerful ALpHA feeding system sometimes to be seen to ENHANCED GRAINhave TREATMENT be believed. If you would like to see ALpHA in action for yourself, please get in touch.

Talking......from Lincolnshire

July 6th 2026 Will Howe is an arable farmer from Sleaford, Lincolnshire. The soils are predominantly heavy. There is 1000ha of cropping including winter wheat, spring beans, spring oats and oilseed rape. He also manages a contracting business Thorpe Farming Ltd. It turns out I am not a fan of climate change. We like to go as a family on a Greek holiday for 7 days between school finishing and harvest. To be conservative this year we were due to be away from 28th June to the 5th July. This was deemed “harvest” safe when booking it as we wouldn’t get two hot dry summers in a row…

The day we left I was looking nervously at the OSR as the stems had gone from a dark green to a very light green and hoping the forecast damp week would keep it safe until we got home.

Whilst away I made the fateful mistake of looking at the forecast which showed it had been wrong and was now warm with strong winds predicted.

And we are off Cue mild panic, a crop inspection by a kindly neighbour and a reshuffling of boat hire days. Two days later I was on a flight back to London. Our OSR was all cut by the time Vicky got back with the kids at between 7.2-9% and looking like averaging 3.75t/ha which is disappointing given how the crop looked, but pleasing given it has been in a “drought” since March. There was plenty of biomass, there were just not enough pods on the side shoots.

Whilst organising flights, initially via Milan and then thankfully a direct flight to Heathrow had a seat become available, I did think why can’t I be more Greek in my approach to life. I love boating around the Greek islands, so we had hired a sensible one for a day. On arriving to pick it up Dino said he was just going to check the water separator and then we were good to Far more fun go. 90 seconds later there were lots of profanities, both English and Greek, resulting with his mate Carlos having his finger stuck in the fuel line preventing anymore petrol from escaping. Dino hopped on his scooter to get parts and 15 mins later returned and all was well. When thanking him for the speedy service he told us, “I went very fast, a policeman stopped me as I went zoom down the road, but I told him I was too busy and needed to fix the boat so just drove off”. What a great attitude!

My efforts of relaxation are being slightly thwarted by my neighbour putting his farm up for a 5yr FBT. It is approx. 800 acres, and apparently even had some Scottish farmers come down for the viewing day. I keep crunching the numbers and it is not financially exciting. With prices where they are, of both inputs and outputs, and the impending fertiliser tax adding another £45/ ha to growing costs there seems very little profit in it. And I haven’t even factored climate change into the spreadsheet yet…

On Our Farm

July 7th 2026 Hugo Lee farms in partnership with his father, Guy, at Sandystones, near St Boswells. Arable crops of wheat, oilseed rape, malting barley and oats are grown, 500 Angus cattle are finished annually, 8000 organic hens produce eggs for Waitrose and 8,000 organic point of lay pullets are reared each year.

Are weather patterns changing, are cool dry springs and long hot summers the new normal? If this is the case, then I definitely think Northern England and Scotland are going to be the best places to live and farm. Currently I am out in France for a week with Jess’s parents, sisters and their families. We are staying in a lovely house which thankfully has a swimming pool as daytime temperatures hover around the low 40’s! Speaking to locals this is now their second extreme heatwave this year with more forecast over the summer. They say that it is ruining tourism with many canceling altogether or not visiting the local areas deciding to stay in their accommodation due to the stifling heat. Could summer holidays in France soon become a thing of the past?

In the UK harvests are getting earlier every year with many in the south starting at the end of June! Harvest at home is starting 2 weeks earlier than when I came back in 2017. We must adapt to this changing climate by growing crops and varieties that suit this new weather pattern.

I love going on holiday and spending some quality time with Jess and the children. However, I wish the process of going away could be a little less stressful. There always seems to be a last minute panic to get a mountain of jobs done beforehand with no time to do them. This is not helped by sports day, speech day and summer concert all happening at the end of term which I try my hardest to attend. Despite our best efforts we always seem to be packing into the early hours of the morning with only a few hours of sleep before leaving Laying cables for the new shed for the airport feeling exhausted!

The fat cattle prices have started to creep up over the past couple of weeks, which is encouraging. We bought our first batch of 40 spring grazers inside last week and I am pleased with how they have performed averaging just under 1kg/day at grass. Second cut is going to be taken at the end of the week which is slightly earlier than normal but the grass is starting to head and I want to go for quality rather than quantity. It will be interesting to see how it analyses and if my focus on growing better quality silage this year has worked.

The new hen shed is progressing well with half the system now installed and all services connected.

There is still lots to do but hopefully we will get everything completed in plenty of time and avoid any last minute panics.

Whilst I have been away Bogdan and Yurii have been busy washing and moving our laying shed ready for our final batch of Sandystones reared pullets. Sadly we are having to sell the rearing shed as it is on part of the range for the new shed.

Agrimart fans at the Highland show!

I wish you all a safe and successful harvest.

Talking......from the boundary

July 8th 2026 In the 1980’s I was farming on the Surrey/Hampshire border. Hampshire is a great farming county, the predominant soil type is chalk which is one of the most forgiving and easier soils to work with. It does not require drains, or ditches and acts like a sponge retaining sufficient moisture for most crop requirements but never waterlogging in times of surplus rain. It is also very easy working, not requiring large machines to bust clods of clay. The only downside are the flints which can make some fields look more like a rocky desert. Flints are very hard on tractor tyres causing wear and cuts.

Moving on from the soil, Hampshire also boasts many long standing agricultural clubs and societies. Growmore clubs Guy Lee were established in the dark days of the second world war, when the country’s food security was threatened as there had been such a reliance on imported products especially from America. To feed the nation the ‘War Ag’ ordered the ploughing up of a lot of the grassland for the production of cereal crops. To advance education and mutual learning Growmore Clubs were established in Hampshire, many still exist, today there are more than nine thriving societies. I was a member of the Binsted Growmore Club, we had inter club quiz nights, farming competitions and social events through the year. Within the club we had teams with names such as Fugles and Goldings which are varieties of hops which had been grown in the area. The other great club in the county is the Hampshire Farmers Club, (previously known as the Fareham and Hants). This has a prestigious annual competition for the best farms in various sizes and categories. The previous year’s winners of each class are entered in the championship the following year. This is one of the most highly respected competitions in the UK. Like many other Border farmers, I have judged both a class and the championship. Over two days you and a fellow judge visit five farms for an in depth view and analysis of the business.

When we moved North in 1990 one aspect I missed were the people I had met and the things I had learnt through the Growmore Clubs as well as the opportunity to show off a crop or field one was proud of. In 2004 at a meeting of the Newtown St Boswells and District Farmers Club (known as the Boswells Show) I floated the idea of a stock and crop competition for the best field of wheat, oats, barley etc as well as cattle and sheep. This was picked up with enthusiasm and 22 years later it is a thrill to see this event still thriving. In February we have a meeting to choose the judges and appoint stewards with classes being judged in early July. I have escorted many judges round over the years, it is very rewarding showing outsiders round the Borders and the quality of crops and stock we have. Yesterday I drove just over 100 miles showing Tom Pate, Agrimart contributor, the 15 fields of wheat that had entered this year’s competition. The winners are announced at the Show which is on July 18th this year, where cups A route map of the 100 miles we drove judging the Tom Pate judging the wheat are presented and prizes given.

Talking......New Zealand

July 6th 2026

Ian Mackenzie is an arable and dairy farmer from the Canterbury Plain in the South Island of New Zealand. He runs a number of fully irrigated intensive cropping farms, producing grain, vegetable and grass seeds with some stock finishing.

A true winter storm has whistled up from Antarctica and is hammering the eastern coast of the South Island. This is a 1 in 20 year (on average) event when a high pressure system stalls to the east on NZ and a low pressure system gets stuck over us. The result is very cold winds bring heavy snow and rain.

It will be blamed, like every weather event these days, on climate change but, like most of these weather events, they have been occurring with some regularity since records began. There does seem to be a link to the El Niño as most of our big snows have been recorded in El Niños. One of the more memorable big snows was in 1973.

It was my first year at university and a few of us went up to Mt Olympus, a small but very challenging ski field in the Craigeburn Mountains 2 hours west of Christchurch. We had a great weekend skiing but by Sunday afternoon it was snowing heavily. All the other skiers were staying in the lodge up on the ski field for the week. They suggested to us that we should leave while we could. They were all young couples and clearly thought the 5 of us would upset the balance should we get snowed in for a few days. We skied down Not particularly welcome to our van, an old VW combivan, and headed back to Christchurch. It was a pretty good blizzard but at first the snow wasn’t too thick so we decided to go via the “fine weather road” that cuts across an inland valley to the main west coast road.

Every time we got stuck in a snowdrift we fortified ourselves with liquid refreshments to help with the pushing. We eventually got to the top of Porter’s Pass which meant it was downhill all the way to town.

We got to Darfield, a wee town 30 miles west of Christchurch, quite drunk, at about 2am. There we were stopped by a policeman who had been manning a roadblock since the road was closed at 5pm. He was slightly surprised to see our van coming down the closed road ploughing through what was by then a couple of feet of snow. He was even more surprised to find 5 very happy drunk students enjoying the adventure and still partying their way home.

The big snow was followed by a big freeze. Our university was closed and we were all volunteered to go back up into the hills to help rescue sheep and cattle buried in the snow. Large numbers of stock were lost and the storm led to significant investment in farm access tracks and 4 wheel drive machinery to prevent a repeat of the devastation. 20 years later, the next big snow wasn’t anywhere as lethal as a result of this investment.

As a postscript, in the spring of ‘74 I had a job working on a sheep and cattle station in the high country. After work, out on the colder country, I could make twice my weekly wage plucking wool off dead sheep the snow had killed the year before. By summer the station cook was complaining about the lingering flavour of decay that was hard to wash off our hands so we gave up on our alternative get rich plan in favour of being fed. This storm is still in full swing so we’ll have to wait to see how much mayhem it causes, but I am at home and won’t have to push a van through snow drifts to qualify for a wee drink.

Talking......North of the Forth

July 6th 2026 Tom Pate farms 240ha of arable on a tenanted farm in Angus. Cropping includes wheat, spring barley, rye and oilseed rape along with land let for potatoes and vining peas. Additionally, around 6500 pigs are reared annually under contract and 600 Christmas turkeys sold directly to the public under the KellyBronze franchise. On his wife’s 380ha family farm in the Angus Glens they also run 200 red deer hinds plus followers for venison production, along with developing a forestry enterprise.

Occasionally a statistic or number reported in the news makes you sit up and take note. Last month it was reported that £780m has been slashed off the annual British grocery shopping bill (The Grocer, 10th June 2026). British consumers are spending £780m less on food?! This is a startling figure and one which highlights a growing and fundamental change to how consumers buy and eat food. The cause of this phenomenon is the growing trend of weight loss jabs (GLP-1). There are now reportedly well over two million users in the UK alone. Primarily used to manage type-2 diabetes, but what has really driven their demand recently is their ability to reduce appetite, slowing gastric emptying and promoting the feeling of fullness. This has meant they are now widely used as a weight loss aid.

Users still have to eat but their calorie intake is much reduced and apparently the foods they require are different. Higher protein diets are recommended whilst cravings for salty, starchy and sweet foods are decreased. Figures from the potato industry suggest that GLP-1s are to blame for a 5-10% reduction in sales across the processed sector with chips and crisps particularly. This is worrying news for tattie growers already feeling bruised from a difficult marketing season.

Demand for chocolates, sweets, beers and wines are also seeing a reduction.

Contractors have been in to thin a section of forestry Remember the £780m drop is only in grocery sales. The hospitality sector is also seeing the effects with diners ordering less food, swapping mains for starters or requesting smaller portions. Lower average food spend per customer along with those who simply no longer eat out is yet another challenge for a sector that has received its fair share of knocks since the COVID pandemic.

More positive is the news for livestock farmers. GLP-1 users require smaller but more protein rich portions. Supermarkets and food retailers are responding by offering new products or rebranding existing items. This obviously presents opportunities for the food sector. At the QMS “Future Thinking on Red Meat Conference”, Dr Phil Hadley of the International Meat Secretariat presented that there will be a swing to fresh/protein foods as consumers look to eat more healthily and GLP-1 users shift their eating habits. Eggs are also seeing a strong uplift in demand.

Mucking out pigs between batches Amusingly, the drugs can have the side effect of leaving users with a dry mouth and bad breath. The Grocer therefore also reports a 20% increase in mouthwash and 24% increase in chewing gum!

Cheaper and easier to take forms of GLP-1s are on their way so the feeling is the number of users will only increase. The food and farming sector will have to adapt and change.

The long-term effect of using these drugs is not fully understood so I find it curious that the Government is allowing such rapid uptake. Obviously, a leaner, healthier nation is a good thing but the full ramifications in this approach is fraught with business, social and health side effects.

It seems a modern madness that today we are increasingly outsourcing our brains to AI and our healthy eating to a drug.

Let’s also not forget that many of the fat jab manufacturers are overseas companies.

Talking......Organic

July 8th 2026

Simon Bainbridge farms in partnership with his wife Claire and his mother Elisabeth in Northumberland. They run suckler beef, sheep and laying hen enterprises across 650 ha of mainly SDA and moorland - organically.

I have just googled whether a bumper crop of fruit and nuts on the trees indicates a hard winter to come?

Reassuringly, it is apparently just charming folklore passed down from generation to generation. It is however, amazing to see the trees laden with fruit and nuts already, and the beech trees are starting to already drop their nuts. Silage wise, we are definitely better prepared for a hard winter this year than last year, if the folklore turns out to be true. The pit is full, last year we were 50% down compared to the year before.

Hopefully quality is good too. The new mowers have been money well spent on getting ahead with the cutting.

All sheep were clipped by the end of June - a first for us and we will be ahead on spaning lambs too, looking to do them the end of July, so a year of getting everything done early. It’s hard to explain to those who are not involved in the sector how much impact the weather has on everything we do - not just the news worthy events - extreme heat, extreme cold, but things like how a good early spring has helped the crops, the lambs and us, all the way through, not just in that moment.

We’re on with all the jobs that get forgotten about normally. Sorting out gateways, a bit of fencing, a tidy up here and there. We have direct drilled the silage fields with a SAM3 organic mix and are making use of the auto steer which is on the new tractor to roll in the seeds. Definitely a high-end bit of arable technology that doesn’t usually feature on our farm. Very fancy. Claire had a conversation with an old school fried the other day who asked how AI was helping us, and maybe we’re a bit behind the curve here, but in our sector, AI isn’t really there for us yet. Mechanisation and automation in the hens, yes. Clever and convenient gadgets on the sheep and cattle side, but it feels that all the AI advances are either on the arable side or within agriculture but before and after the farm gate and certainly designed for the bigger set ups. How can we benefit from AI now? Yes, I could embrace it and get it to help clear out my inbox, but what is out there to help me and the team on a day-to-day basis. It would be interesting to see what there is for the livestock sector on a usable, affordable basis?

For those who remember last month’s article, Claire and I went and did the Great North swim with George. I naively thought I was prepared. I knew there would be no records and it was all about doing it, but I had not bargained on strong, gusty winds and continuous brutal waves. It was really hard work, and we probably swam nearer a mile by being blown off course. My advice to those trying to improve their physical and mental health and wellbeing is to find something different to do!
