Warning: beware of promises made by politicians in 2025

Welcome to the 2025 edition of Farmer! – the agricultural yearbook and annual directory for East Anglia and the Midlands.

When times are tough, it’s important to remind ourselves of the good things in life. As we all know, times are really tough right now in farming. So let’s take stock and remember that agriculture remains a great industry – whatever challenges the world cares to throw at us.

Things were – so we thought – gradually getting better. Over the past year, farm input costs have slowly started to come back into balance with commodity prices –in some sectors at least.

Almost rosy

Farm input costs fell by an average of 4.9% during the 12 months to 30 September 2024 – matched by a 4.3% rise in commodity prices over the same period. In fact, output values rose faster than input costs in every month since December 2023, according to Defra figures. After a challenging two years, prospects were almost looking rosy.

But any sense of optimism disappeared shortly after 12.30pm on Wednesday 30 October 2024, when Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered Labour’s first Budget in almost 14 years.

The government’s decision to impose 20% inheritance tax on farm assets worth more than £1 million broke a key preelection promise – and threatens the hardfought livelihoods of farming families up and down the land.

That broken promise also calls into question Keir Starmer’s sincerity when the Prime Minister repeatedly tells us that “food security is national security”.

The Budget piled other costs on farmers too – including increases in employers’ national insurance contributions, a carbon tax on fertiliser and the decision to tax pick-ups as though they are company cars, rather than tools of the trade.

Farmers will be rightly wary of ever trusting this government again “

Then the government announced it wouldn’t be approving any capital grants either – at least not for the time being –despite promising to compensate farmers for environmental improvements.

It is a terrible and monumental betrayal of trust. And farmers will be rightly wary of ever trusting this government again.

As is usual in every edition of Farmer!, we wish our readers all the best for the 12 months ahead. This year, more than ever, we will all be digging in for the long haul in hope of a better and brighter future.

The coming year – and beyond – requires us all to pull together as we attempt to extricate ourselves from the sorry mess in which we now find outselves.

Weigh-up options to get most from your land

Food production might not be the most profitable option for farmland during 2025

Farmers are being advised to consider all options – including taking fields out of production – to make the most of their land during 2025.

With government schemes now funding dozens of new options beyond food production – and private markets paying for carbon sequestration and natural capital –many farmers have more land‐use choices than ever before.

Each of these factors should be affecting a farmer’s decision on what and how to farm, suggests the 2025 edition of the Nix

Farm Management Pocketbook, particularly following the challenging 2023/24 season.

Non-productive options under Defra’s Sustainable Farming Incentive have been limited by the government to reduce the amount of land taken out of food production. But choices remain available.

These options could be particularly attractive to farmers with land which remains damaged and needs time to recover following unprecedented rainfall during the past season. Nobody knows when the next wet winter is going to occur, says the pocketbook.

“It is a cliché to talk about unprecedented times in farming, but there are so many issues converging on the industry” says farmer and former NFU president Sir Peter

Dairy profits set to recover during 2025

Rising prices mean the outlook is somewhat brighter for milk producers during the year ahead.

The 2024/25 milk year is expected to return a milk income of £3,308/cow against a cost of pro-duction of £3,122/cow. On average, profits are predicted to rise to £590/ cow – compared to a shortfall of £243/cow during2023/24.

The forecast – well above the five-year average profit of £478/cow – is included the annual Milk Cost of Production report by Old Mill and the Farm Consultancy Group (FCG), which exam-ined dairy farms with a 31 March year-end.

Although feed costs dropped from their 2022 high, labour and machinery costs increased – par-ticularly as many businesses bought new kit in early 2023 to offset

looming large tax bills, says Andrew Vickery, head of rural services at Old Mill.

A particular difficulty over the past six to nine months has been cash flow, with many businesses paying large tax bills at a time of falling milk prices. This means knowing the difference between profit and cash flow –and managing both – is vital.

Milk margins will continue to bounce back

Kendall, who has written the foreword to the 2025 pocketbook edition.

“There are more decisions a farmer has to make in today’s world of farming, regarding land use, soil and crop care, stock health and nutrition – and managing the business financials – than there have ever been.”

To determine what option is best, farmers should properly understand the impact of any decision. Headline payment figures may look appealing, but each option will have associated costs and obligations – some of which are not always obvious.

Gross margins

The 2025 pocketbook addresses this issue. It includes updated gross margins for crops, forage and stock, plus a new section estimating the variable costs – and therefore gross margins – of the main SFI options.

This makes it easier to compare each option financially – a useful tool for those yet to decide. There should be a financial margin for undertaking each option, but the profit is unlikely to match that of the previous Basic Payment Scheme.

Farmers may need to consider overhead costs too. The pocketbook includes updated Standard Work Days – and a review of the estimated time required for each land use and crop type. This schedule will now be updated annually.

The pocketbook details the low-risk and regular cash payments on offer to farmers who enter land into agri-environment schemes. These schemes should be seen as both a risk and an opportunity, says pocketbook editor Graham Redman.

Critical look

‘Use SFI to offset loss of direct payments’

Extra revenue from the Sustainable Farming Inventive could help recoup lost income from the phase-out of the Basic Payment Scheme, say advisers.

The BPS being phased out much quicker than anticipated following the autumn 2024 Budget. Direct payments are being capped with most farmers receiving no more than £7,200 from 20025.

The SFI alone will not be enough to mitigate this loss. But the right combination of actions could make up a considerable amount of the shortfall, says the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board.

Faced with uninspiring farm profits, it makes sense to look critically at agri‐environmental schemes to manage financial uncertainty, says Mr Redman. But it is important to get the balance right, he adds.

“An assured, fixed price for an activity for three years is enticing – and the frequent, quarterly payments also facilitate the cash flow, which is useful in tricky years,” explains

“Taking part in the SFI can provide substantial extra income for arable farm businesses,” says AHDB senior economist Amandeep Kaur Purewal. “If farmers carefully select actions that are right for their farm, they can boost the farm’s net profit level.”

Mr Redman.

“The downside is when you are not in the market, you cannot benefit from bumper yields or high grain values if they go up, but the opposite is also clearly true.

“Also, there is no guarantee the payment rates available will change in the three‐year contract, but the associated costs will probably rise.”

Food chain set to shape farm sustainability during 2025

Savvy farmers and suppliers will work together to secure a better – and more profitable –future for the sector

While the Sustainable Farming

Incentive is an immediate focus for growers wishing to optimise their agricultural practices, the food supply chain is set to be the main catalyst driving substantive change in the longer term.

An increasing number of industry insiders believe the food supply chain must prioritise collaboration across the industry and embrace new technology and data opportunities if it is to become genuinely resilient in the future.

“The fundamentals of regenerative agriculture should be encouraged and integrated in all activities from field to fork and new benchmarks are urgently needed to ensure sustainability targets are met,” says Agrii sustainability and environmental services manager Amy Watkins.

now has to accept as a reality and building resilience into all stages of food production is absolutely critical, says Ms Watkins.

“Producing safe, nutritious and affordable food to a growing population is an absolutely priority for our industry but so too is achieving positive environmental outcomes at stages of the journey.”

Supply chain sustainability

Charles Tozer, of maltsters Boortmalt, believes all links of the supply chain have a moral responsibility to deliver greater sustainability in the future.

“You only have to look at the environmental catastrophes taking place around the world to realise we have to take action. As far as we are concerned, that starts with our own business operations.

“But ultimately the end of our supply chain is the consumer, so the drive must come from them and we all need to work together to deliver more sustainable products in the future.

“The UK leaving Europe started arguably the largest agricultural transition since the second world war and COVID19 then further disrupted supply chains globally and opened consumers’ eyes to where their food comes from and the challenges around this.

“Data is key but we need to know where we are starting from. Generic data is not enough, we need specific information and desperately need some action that will help standardise this so we can together drive down carbon footprints

“Food security and price volatility has then became an even greater talking point since 2022 with war breaking out in Ukraine and this year’s extreme weather has further added to the challenges.”

Angela Gibson of Viterra UK Ltd agrees adding collaboration is the key to achieving this but urges

Ongoing change is something our supply chain

“We must be careful not to import data if we can’t protect it. Grain marketeers have an

important function in collecting data and disseminating with traceability throughout the supply chain being essential.

“To move at scale, however, we need to be able to move seamlessly across the industry with digital grain passports being essential in achieving this. They are the future and we need long-term commitment from the AHDB or government to make these happen.”

The problem is different companies wanting different data and using different carbon calculations than others, says Ms Gibson. This must change, she adds.

“We need consistency and granularity so farmers get the benefits from the data they hold and it could be we have to look at a completely new set of standardised metrics across the industry to deliver this.”

Integration of data key

Derek Wilson of Origin Enterprises believes there is no shortage of data in the industry, but how it works together is the issue.

“Data can come from a number of

sources and in different forms so there is a large formatting piece that must be done if it is to easily flow from one source to another, as well as ensuring security and privacy needed. Farmers need to understand how their data is being used and protected.

“Agrii is already aggregating data from multiple different systems such as that from tractors, combines and drones in our Rhiza Contour system so we know it is possible to do.

“Originally farmers engaging with this were using it largely to improve profitability, but by definition, if you are farming in this way you are adopting a more sustainable approach by using less inputs and knowing precisely the effect they are having.”

Agrii agronomist Todd Jex says the company’s extensive trials and R&D programme is contributing massively to the collective data set to the benefit of all growers.

“What is becoming increasingly clear is the importance of soil health in future sustainability. We’ve found growers moving >>

to minimum tillage are saving around £100£130/ha compared to those ploughing.

“They’re also ending up with much healthier soils with better structure and resilience and 60- 70% of my farming customers now say they are implementing a regenerative system of some type.”

Increasing the efficiency of crop nutrition

Crop nutrition is another area where significant strides forward are also being made, adds Mr Jex.

“Growers are desperate to reduce their reliance on synthetic inputs, including inorganic nitrogen, and there are numerous options opening up in terms of new chemistry, physical and biological approaches.

“Healthy plants are a lot less susceptible to pests and diseases, so if we can use some of these technologies to improve green area and overall crop health, it could be that we are needing less fungicides as well as nitrogen.

increasingly important and plant nutrition has a big role to play in this, too.”

Sustainable intensification is still an expression Bill Angus of Angus Wheat Consultants feels comfortable with, believing genetics will be important element of this in the future.

“Genetics can play a big role in the future, but they are not the 100% answer. Sustainable agronomy where genetics, chemistry and crop nutrition work together is the ultimate objective.

“We cannot achieve the wheat yields we need to without chemistry. Yields would easily drop by a third and we would end up with very poor quality crops.

‘I

feel more like a professional gambler’

British farmers reveal their twin struggles with climate change and mental health.

By John Whitton

Climate change has made the UK wetter, and farmers have paid the price.

Winter 2023 was one of the wettest on record. The results were clear for all to see during the first half of 2024: soil washed of its nutrients, crops bogged down in waterlogged fields, and livestock sick with waterborne illnesses.

The adverse conditions meant farmers had to delay planting and harvesting. Production of the most common British crops – wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rape – is set to be 21% lower in 2024 than the 2015-2023 average. To meet demand, food and drink manufacturers will import from

overseas and pass their additional costs to consumers. Extreme weather is estimated to have already added £361 to the average UK food bill in the last two years.

My work with UK farmers and growers has looked at how they are adapting to these effects of climate change, and how it is affecting their work and way of life. The findings are shocking. Problems experienced by farmers go to the very heart of UK agriculture –and are often things they feel they can do little or nothing about.

Hidden crisis

Farmers told me they are worried about post-Brexit farming policies and trade deals with other countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, flooding the country with cheap imports that undercut domestic

Market forces fix or lower the price farmers receive for their produce. Meanwhile seasonal labourers, such as fruit pickers, are more difficult or expensive to attract now the UK is outside the European Union. On top of that, there are all the issues posed by climate change. According to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, male farm workers are three times more likely to take their own lives than the male national average. Every week, three people in the UK farming industry die by suicide.

The Farm Safety Foundation (FSF) runs an annual campaign, Mind Your Head, that asks those working in agriculture

What will the weather be like next spring – and what should I plant? Who knows. “

to consider the root causes of their stress, anxiety and poor mental health. A recent poll of farmers by FSF found that 95% under the age of 40 list mental health problems as one of their biggest challenges. The reasons for this became apparent during my research.

Farmers are very familiar with extreme weather – being up to your knees in muddy water while trying to harvest a crop makes climate change palpable. Farmers talked about how extreme weather is making harvest times increasingly unpredictable, which affects the growing season of crops. A farmer in West Lancashire told me:

“I feel more like a professional gambler than a farmer. What will the weather be like in spring next year, and what should I plant? Who knows.”

Commercial pressures

The future of a farm, and several generations of the family business, depends on stable income. Unpredictable weather caused by climate change makes these regular financial re-turns elusive.

told me supermarkets also retain a strong influence on the agricultural sector. This exerts downward pressure on the prices farmers sell their produce at.

That farmers are unable to set their own prices is one of nu-merous factors limiting the profitability of farm businesses and preventing planning for the long term –including how to address climate change. Greenhouse gases from agriculture amount to 11% of the UK’s total.

Farmers were keen to point out they still get the same finan-cial reward for many of their products as they did years ago, despite inflation and the upward trend in food prices. Farmers are frustrated that the market and their relationship with buy-ers stops them adding value to products, with one saying:

“[Farming] must be the only industry where you can’t dictate the price of your end-product. I’m losing a penny a litre on milk.”

Many farmers are struggling or leaving farming altogether. Second jobs are common in farming families. Some farmers

The farmers and growers I interviewed >>

ENVIRONMENT

are overcoming these problems by working with neighbours and sharing farm equipment. One farmer said: “You don’t go into farming to get rich … It’s a way of life”.

One spoke of the family deciding it would not be in anyone’s interests for the son to become the farm manager. That son had a well-paid and successful career in engineering instead and retired aged 55, while his father continues to manage the farm in his eighth decade.

My research conjures the image of the lone farmer, struggling to ad-dress the urgent needs of their business while the mounting impacts of climate change spell deeper trouble ahead. As one farmer put it: “There [were] five people here – but now there’s only me.” The herit-age and future of British farming hangs in the balance.

Opportunity out of change at Oxford conference EVENTS

Top speakers will address the 2025 Oxford Farming Conference – with a special focus on identifying opportunities when facing change.

The conference theme comes amid a raft of key challenges for farming. They include the end of the Basic Payment Scheme, the fallout from the autumn 2024 Budget and increasing concern over food security.

A diverse group of experts, pioneers and changemakers from across the globe have been chosen for the conference, which takes place on 8-10 January at the Examination Schools, Oxford.

Over the two days, more than 30 visionary speakers will inspire and inform delegates, covering critical topics from sustainable livestock production to innovative food policies and farm diversification strategies.

Motivational speaker

Among the headline speakers are Venkatachalam Murugan, Consul General of India in Birmingham; record-breaking adventurer and motivational speaker Olly Hicks; and acclaimed environmental strategist and author Gaia Vince.

The renowned OFC Oxford Union debate will bring some humour and theatrical contributions to the event, tackling the motion: “This house believes that UK agriculture needs more grazing livestock, rather than fewer, to be truly sustainable.”

Open Farm Sunday celebration showcase

Farming’s annual open day gives growers and livestock producers the opportunity to welcome the public on to their farms – and show them where their food comes from.

Co-ordinated by the Linking Environment and Farming (LEAF) charity, visitors are encouraged to learn more about farming and the countryside – and gives farmers the chance to talk about what they’re so proud of: British food and farming.

Special events

Farmers organise their own special events – from farm walks and trailer rides to exhibitions in the farmyard – whether it is for a small gathering of 20 friends and neighbours or a big open day attracting hundreds of visitors.

More than 225 Open Farm Sunday events took place on farms of all types and sizes across Britain, from Jersey to Shetland. Hundreds of thousands of people have visited farms since Open Farm Sunday started in 2006.

A host of case studies is available offering ideas and inspiration to farmers

National media

Widespread promotion on broadcast media – including on BBC Radio 2, and over 40 local and regional radio stations – helps with publicity and encourages visitors to discover the farming stories on their doorstep.

New research commissioned by LEAF last year suggest that most Britons (94%) think the work that farmers do is important. But only 12% of the nation claim to be well informed about what farmers do for the countryside.

“Our survey findings demonstrate why an event like Open Farm Sunday is so important to our industry and in contributing to the wider education of local communities,” says Open Farm Sunday manager Annabel Shackleton.

“People have a healthy appetite to learn more about what farmers do in terms of land management, nature protection, environmental stewardship and food production. The most powerful voices to share that knowledge are farmers themselves.”

Artificial intelligence could boost food security – but we must anticipate the risk s

By Asaf Tzachor

As the global population has expanded over time, agricultural modernisation has been humanity’s prevailing approach to staving off famine.

A variety of mechanical and chemical innovations delivered during the 1950s and 1960s represented the third agricultural revolution. The adoption of pesticides, fertilisers and high-yield crop breeds, among other measures, transformed agriculture and ensured a secure food supply for many millions of people over several decades.

Food inflation

At the same time, modern agriculture has emerged as a culprit of global warming, responsible for one-third of emissions, namely carbon dioxide and methane.

Meanwhile, inflation on the price of food is reaching an all-time high, while malnutrition is rising dramatically. Today, an estimated two billion people are afflicted by food insecurity (where having access to safe, sufficient and nutrient-rich food isn’t guaranteed). Some 690 million people are undernourished.

The third agricultural revolution may have run its course. And as we search for innovation to usher in a fourth agricultural revolution with urgency, all eyes are on artificial intelligence (AI).

AI, which has advanced rapidly over the past two decades, encompasses a range of technologies capable of performing humanlike cognitive processes, such as reasoning. It’s trained to make these decisions based on information from vast amounts of data.

In assisting humans in fields and factories, artificial intelligence may process, synthesise and analyse large amounts of data steadily and ceaselessly. It can outperform humans in detecting and diagnosing anomalies, such as plant diseases, and making predictions including about yield and weather.

Across several agricultural tasks, AI may relieve growers from labour entirely, automating tillage, planting, fertilising, monitoring and harvesting.

Algorithms already regulate dripirrigation grids, command fleets of topsoil-monitoring robots, and supervise weed-detecting rovers, self-driving tractors and combine harvesters. A fascination with the prospects of AI creates incentives to delegate it with further agency and autonomy.

‘Agbots’

This technology is hailed as the way to revolutionise agriculture. The World Economic Forum, an international nonprofit promoting public-private partnerships, has set AI and AI-powered agricultural robots (called “agbots”) at the forefront of the fourth agricultural revolution.

But in deploying AI swiftly and widely, we may increase agricultural productivity at the expense of safety. In our recent paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence, we have considered the risks that could come with rolling out these advanced and autonomous technologies in agriculture.

First, given these technologies are connected to the internet, criminals may try to hack them. Disrupting certain types of agbots would cause hefty damages. In the US alone, soil erosion costs US$44 billion (£33.6 billion) annually.

This has been a growing driver of the demand for precision agriculture, including swarm robotics, that can help farms to manage and lessen its effects. But these swarms of topsoil-monitoring robots rely on interconnected computer networks and are vulnerable to cyber-sabotage and shutdown. Similarly, tampering with weeddetecting rovers would let weeds loose at a considerable cost. We might also see interference with sprayers, autonomous drones or robotic harvesters, any of which could cripple cropping operations.

Beyond the farm gate, with increasing digitisation and automation, entire agrifood supply chains are susceptible to malicious cyber-attacks.

Ransomware

At least 40 malware and ransomware attacks targeting food manufacturers, processors and packagers were registered in the US in 2021. The most notable was the US$11 million ransomware attack against the world’s largest meatpacker JBS.

Then there are accidental risks. Before a rover is sent into the field, it’s instructed by its human operator to sense certain parameters and detect particular anomalies, such as plant pests. It disregards, whether by its own mechanical limitations or by command, all other factors.

TECHNOLOGY

The same applies to wireless sensor networks deployed in farms, designed to notice and act on particular parameters, for example, soil nitrogen content. By imprudent design, these autonomous systems might prioritise short-term crop productivity over long-term ecological integrity. To increase yields, they might apply excessive herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers to fields, which could have harmful effects on soil and waterways.

Rovers and sensors may also malfunction, as machines occasionally do, sending commands based on erroneous data to sprayers and agrochemical dispensers. And there’s the possibility we could see human error in programming the machines.

Safety over speed

Agriculture is too vital a domain for us to allow hasty deployment of potent but insufficiently supervised and often experimental technologies. If we do, the result may be that they intensify harvests but undermine ecosystems. As we emphasise in our paper, the most effective method to treat risks is prediction and prevention.

We should be careful in how we design AI for agricultural use and should involve experts from different fields in the process. For example, applied ecologists could advise on possible unintended environmental consequences of agricultural AI, such as nutrient exhaustion of topsoil, or excessive use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers.

Also, hardware and software prototypes should be carefully tested in supervised environments – so-called “digital sandboxes” – before they are deployed more widely. In these spaces, ethical hackers, also known as white hackers, could look for vulnerabilities in safety and security.

This precautionary approach may slightly slow down the diffusion of AI. Yet it should ensure that those machines that graduate the sandbox are sufficiently sensitive, safe and secure.

After all, half a billion farms, global food security and a fourth agricultural revolution hang in the balance.
