This week it has been good to get back to normal after several days at The Great Yorkshire Show. Although tired we have a sense of elation as Ben and an Abbiene cow were champion Holsteins for the second year.

Tree are often seen as the miracle cure to the climate emergency and it looks as though the Welsh Government has fallen into that trap.

Denise Wilkinson is head of agriculture and estates at HCR Hewitsons.

Well, we wanted rain and now we arguably have a little too much. Combines in Cheshire have hardly turned a wheel.

It's showtime. We finally ticked the Highland Show off our wish list. We have never been before, but with the Golden Shears being hosted there this year, coupled with Sam shearing in Scotland, it seemed the perfect time to do it.

Show chat is usually a good barometer of how the farming community is feeling at any given time, and it was great to get out and speak to visitors to the Great Yorkshire Show last week.  

I was lucky enough to be among those invited to attend St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh to witness the King being presented with the Honours of Scotland (our Crown jewels), and it was a truly memorable experience.
