Farming
It’s open day down on the farm!
by Ruth Kimber
We are holding an open day at the farm in connection with the Somerset Food Trail on Saturday, 23 July.
The starting point is Kimbers Farm Shop, where there will be vintage and modern tractors, and tastings from local suppliers.
Somerset Trading Barn will be joined by more stallholders outside selling antiques and collectables.
The kitchen at Kimbers will be selling barbecue food all day, breakfast through to tea time! Pulled pork, sausages burgers etc.
Somerset Wildlife Trust and The Woodland Trust will also be attending.
Transport will be available to take visitors to the farm, where you will see the dairy cows, the milking parlour, the yards and barns where the cattle are housed and fed in winter; the turkeys, avian flu permitting; and learn from Tom, the farmer, how your food is produced.
The open day runs from 10am-4pm.
School children
A feast of attractions will be on offer when Kimbers Farm Shop stages an open day.
The first of the school visits took place last week, a bus load of very well-behaved primary school children arrived from Chew Stoke, to have a tour of the farm and then picnic in the field, then up to the farm shop where they saw our produce with lots from the surrounding area.
The butchers showed them some of their skills, including how to portion a duck! They also enjoyed some of our sausages, burgers and Clare’s home-made butter shortbread!
More visits are booked next spring, all through the charity Farmlink.
Any interested schools can contact Farmlink at www. farmlink.org.uk where advice and help will be given. Some funding is available for transport to the farm, and help with teaching plans, risk assessments etc.
The day-old turkeys have arrived, so the countdown to Christmas for us has started! They are so cute when they arrive but after only a few days they start to grow wing feathers and lose their initial sweetness.
Right from day one they are aggressive feeders and tuck into their chick crumbs, and if they can harvest a passing insect, they will quick as a flash gobble it up – forgive the pun.
However, they are also very vulnerable, mustn’t get too cold, too hot, be frightened with sudden noise etc, which can cause them to flock together and smother.
They also make a good meal for rats, cats, rooks, crows, magpies and jackdaws.
The birds become less of a threat as the turkeys grow but rats will creep behind a fully grown resting turkey and nibble its parson nose – tail – causing it to bleed, then other turkeys will peck at the blood!
We had a stray cat squeeze into the barn and feast on the baby chicks – expensive taste!
Then there are the foxes and mink to worry about. The barn is like Fort Knox!
The grass is just about keeping growing for the dairy. The animals are enjoying the summer and appreciate the high hedge’s shade when it’s hot.
The first of the dairy cows have been dried off, which means they are having a well-earned two-month holiday in a field away from the dairy before having their next calf. Kimbers Farm Shop, The Kitchen at Kimbers and Somerset Trading Barn BA9 8HJ. Opening Tuesday–Friday, 8.30am–5pm, Saturday 9.30am–4pm.
NFU report sets out importance of soil in food production
Investing in the health of the nation’s soil is a key cornerstone to help the UK ensure the future of sustainable food production, meet its ambitious net zero commitments and deliver for the environment, according to a new NFU report.
The NFU’s Foundation of Food report highlights why good soil health is crucial to the nation’s farming systems and is essential to British food production. It explains the benefits healthy soil delivers in reducing flood risk, supporting wildlife habitats and biodiversity, and the sequestration and storage of carbon.
The report welcomes the focus on soil health in Defra’s first Environmental Land Management scheme (ELM), the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI). This is already available to farmers and aligns with the report’s findings for incentives to maintain and conserve soil structure. The NFU is calling for grant schemes that encourage uptake of technology to boost productivity through reduced soil compaction and erosion.
NFU vice-president David Exwood said: “Farmers are in the best position to continue work to support soil health and

National Farmers’ Union vice-president David Exwood. ensure it for the future. The importance of healthy soils to everyone cannot be underestimated. It underpins our productive farming systems, and delivers huge benefits for the environment, the farmed landscape and offers resilience to climate change.
“Farmers are already doing fantastic work in protecting and managing their soil but with the current fragility of our global food security, it has thrown food production into sharp focus. We need to look carefully at how we protect our number one asset – our soil.
“This report sets out our vision for a long-term, coordinated approach, which incentivises farmers for improving their soil and accounts for the needs of individual farm businesses. The new ELM scheme being rolled out includes soil. It now needs to evolve and address areas like nutrient management. It’s also vital new payment schemes fairly reward farmers for these public goods and enable them to enhance this vital work.
“By working together to better preserve and enhance this most valuable national resource, we can make progress towards our goal of net zero by 2040, continue delivering for the environment and allow our farmers to produce sustainable climate-friendly food well into the future.”

Heat stress in farm animals and what to do
by Alice Miller BVSC DBR MRCVS Friars Moor Livestock Health
In my last column I spoke about seasonal conditions we encounter in the summer months. I spoke about preparing for the hot weather we have been experiencing and measures that could be put in place to avoid heat stress. Even with all the best laid plans, due to the unprecedented temperatures, we have been to treat some animals for heat stress. So, what can you do if you suspect one of your animals is affected?
To start with, it is important to pick up on the clinical signs as soon as possible. The prognosis will be better if the condition is identified and treated quickly.
Animals should be checked regularly throughout the day. You should look for animals that may appear restless – often they are standing with their heads bowed and have an increased breathing rate, taking rapid, shallow breaths.
You may see excessive drooling and/or foaming from the mouth. Animals which are in extreme distress will be ‘openmouth breathing’ and stand with their necks extended. You may notice heat-stressed cows bunching together, especially in sheltered areas or around water sources, which becomes counterproductive as they will become even hotter in this situation.
Best treatment
If heat stress is not treated it will progress to heat stroke and the animal then loses the ability to control normal functions. A cow with heat stroke won’t drink, can’t stand and will become comatose. They look like a cow with milk fever, apart from their body temperature will be extremely high. Cows with existing underlying conditions, for example pneumonia or low calcium, will be higher risk.
The best treatment is cold hosing, by continually hosing the animal off with cold water for 20-30 minutes you can quickly bring their body temperature back to normal. A cow with heat stress will readily drink, so make sure she has easy access to plenty of water. A cow with heat stroke will not drink herself so once her temperature has come down with the cold-water hosing call your vet who can administer IV or oral fluids, depending on the state of the animal.
Bringing animals into well ventilated buildings during the day may help, especially where shade is limited outside. They will graze much better in the cooler evenings and early morning.
Remember that several animals will be drinking at the same time, making frequent visits to troughs, so there should be enough capacity to accommodate the increased demand.
It is important to make sure that water pipes are not exposed – ideally, they should be buried at least 15cm deep to ensure they do not heat up the water. Exercise, handling and transportation should also be avoided during the hottest part of the day.
As a consequence, we have moved some TB tests and routine visits or done them earlier or later to reduce this added risk. For more information please do not hesitate to contact us at Friar Moor Livestock Health.
