West Yorkshire doctor and former farm worker Jerry Alderson explains why it's good to talk about farm accidents – and how we can help each other stay safe.

On the markets, buoyant demand sees a big increase in the oilseed rape area drilled for harvest 2022 – and a sudden uplift for beef and sheep.

A new veterinary school at Harper Adams University and Keele University aims to encourage more farm vets – and overcome a shortage in the sector.

And we take a ride with the Welly Wheelers – a group of Somerset farmers who take their cycling very seriously indeed.
