Feb, 25 2026The CFA Survey 2025 provides a comprehensive analysis of Contract Farming Agreements across the UK, drawing on data from over 100 farms. The report explores national trends in costs, returns, environmental scheme participation, and farm-level decision‑making, revealing tightening margins, increasing contractor charges and a significant shift toward land being taken out of production. With CFAs growing in complexity and the future of environmental schemes uncertain, the 2025–26 outlook highlights the need for carefully structured agreements and data‑driven planning.

Sep, 16 2025A desk-based study explores the potential of sowing beans or linseed alongside Winter Wheat to boost soil health and reduce input reliance. While policy incentives and ecological benefits are promising, practical adoption faces hurdles — from herbicide compatibility to machinery requirements. With field trials cancelled due to wet weather previously, the findings draw on agronomy team insights, label reviews, and integrated farm management principles. Could this be a viable route to healthier soils and more resilient cropping systems?
