Farming isn't easy, we know this, but how risky is it? While there are too many factors to consider in one post, we explore how planning at the start of the year can be very different from the profits received. Which makes us ask, how farmers keep farming?

Our #TBThursday blog has been in the vault for 10 years. However its topic of the vital role that chemicals play in current agriculture & the opposition to limit chemicals uses like glyphosate have not changed in the past decade, is time standing still?
