The deadline for applications to Countryside Stewardship Mid Tier is now 15th September.  Those farming in Wales have their first ever Welsh Agriculture Act, read what this means.  We report on further delays to the implementation of post-Brexit border controls and on a further increase to the base rates, read how high forecasters think it will go.  CF Industries is closing its ammonia production facility, what does this mean for AN fertiliser in the UK?  We remind purchasers of AN fertiliser that photo ID is required as of 1st October.  Finally read about support for the Welsh food and drinks industry.
