Farming Two new members for county’s show
Two Blandford men have joined the board of Dorchester Agricultural Society as they begin a tricky year trying to organise Dorset County Show. Paul Dunlop, managing partner at law firm Blanchards Bailey, and Ben Best, who covers south Dorset as area sales manager for Blandford-based C&O Tractors, have been appointed to the ninestrong board of trustees of the society. The trustees, led by Dorset headteacher and farmer Nicola Ralph, guide and steer the society to promote excellence in agriculture. Paul said: “I am delighted to have been voted on to the board. I look forward to working with the show team and the other board members. “At Blanchards Bailey we are passionate about providing legal advice to the agricultural sector, with many of our staff farming or being involved with farming. “I hope my sector-specific skills and knowledge will enhance the management of the society.” Paul heads the Agriculture & Estates Sector at Blanchards Bailey’s head office in Blandford and advises farmers and landowners on all areas of the law. The firm has supported the Dorset County Show for many years, sponsoring livestock classes and the stockman’s supper as well as having a stand alongside the Country Land and Business Association (CLA). Paul added: “We are looking forward to having our own stand at the show when it next runs. This iconic event will take place once more, once restrictions are eased and it is safe to do so.” Dorchester Agricultural Society (DAS) was established in 1840, and is Dorchester’s second oldest business. Dorset County Show is one of Dorset’s largest outdoor events, attracting about 60,000 visitors annually. If it is possible for the 2021 show to proceed, then it will take place on September 4 and 5.

Pesticide amnesty is hailed a success
Some 3.5 tonnes of banned and outdated pesticides have been removed from farms across Dorset by the county’s Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) team. The farm pesticide amnesty has been hailed a ‘great success’ after 93 farms took part in the scheme, which the safe disposal of chemicals safely. The farm holdings took advantage of the amnesty, disposing up to 75 litres or kilograms free of charge and collected by Peake (GB) Ltd, a specialist agricultural waste collection and disposal firm. Many participating farm holdings disposed in excess of the scheme’s limit and covered the additional cost themselves, removing 3,100 litres and 300kg of pesticides and other chemicals, which could otherwise pose a significant risk to the environment and water resources, particularly if they had been stored incorrectly. Richard Lambourne from Dorset’s Catchment Sensitive Farming team who lead the project, said: “The amnesty has been a great success, helping farmers to correctly dispose of chemicals which can often be costly and difficult to get rid of. “The amnesty has shown a great willingness by farmers to take advantage of schemes like this to reduce risks to the water environment. “The scheme has also demonstrated a co-ordinated and joined-up approach with Natural England’s Catchment Sensitive Farming team and Dorset’s water companies to help farmers deliver water quality improvements, with both Bournemouth Water and Wessex Water sponsoring and contributing towards the delivery of the project. “Although water companies remove chemicals from raw water before it’s put into supply, it’s much more sustainable and cost-effective to work with farmers to reduce the chances of pesticides entering our water resources in the first place. “Through this amnesty we have helped facilitate the safe disposal of chemicals ensuring they won’t ever find their way into watercourses which could affect drinking water quality and damage the environment.”

Farming Friars Moor farm careers event success
By Alice Miller of Friars Moor Livestock Health
As previously advertised, we held our first online ‘Farm animal veterinary careers talk’ on Thursday, March 4 and we were overwhelmed by the positive response we received. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the pupils, schools and parents who supported the event. But, above all we were thrilled to be joined by so many enthusiastic and engaged young people. We certainly hope the afternoon event inspired this next generation of budding vets and vet techs to pursue their dreams, whilst gaining a better understanding of the requirements that will help them to get there. Vets Katie Harrower, Paul Doran, and I, alongside vet tech James Hall and foot trimmer and sheep scanner Alex Williams, all shared our experiences and career journeys. We openly shared the things that we found challenging along the way, as well as reflecting on why we feel very lucky to work in such a diverse industry, that offers many different career opportunities within it. We all acknowledged the importance of working within a supportive team. The work we do comes with responsibility and it can be highly stressful and emotionally draining at times, we all commented on how the family, caring ethos at Friars Moor often negates the enormity of these feelings and how important it is to have this work environment where you can reach out when needed. We wanted to reiterate that it is never too early, or too late to consider a possible lifetime career. Paul left school and became a professional chef in a highend London restaurant before rethinking his career path, and similarly Katie decided upon veterinary in her second year of A-levels, so she took time out after school to complete work experience and grade requirements to strengthen her application. We would like to thank all of those who submitted questions for the Q&A part of our panel discussion. These included everything from, tips for applying to universities, to the most challenging cases we have had to face within our careers, as well as advice on interview technique and expected salaries. We covered as many as we could during the live event, and as promised answered all of them, these are now available on our website at friarsmoorvets.co.uk under the student section. If you have any further questions with regards to career paths in veterinary please email: careerdevelopment@friarsm oorlivestockhealth.co.uk. Fingers crossed for the same event face to face next year!

Relief as inspection done for another year
Ruth Kimber’s Farmer’s Diary
Great news! We had a clear TB test... relief all round. February field dyke, March winds and April showers bring forth spring flowers! What a lovely time of the year, full of promise. The lambing on the farm is keeping Darren busy. He gets up most nights to check the flock and all is going well so far, nothing to match lambs gambolling in gangs in the spring sunshine. Lamb for the Easter table is likely to be in short supply, as many sheep were exported before the end of the year, due to Brexit uncertainty. Get your orders in early. Paul managed to do a bit of rolling after the cows had eaten their first field of grass this season. It’s a catchy job, to roll the land when its hard enough not to cause damage and soft enough for the rollers to do some good without bruising the growing grass. I saw the first cowslips at the weekend, a plant that really likes poor soil and is making a come back as fertilisers are kept well away from the hedges and banks. Tom and the team are still busy with all the winter work, however a few youngstock have been let out and the dairy are spending a few hours every day at grass, so this helps a little. The barns still have enough food till winter is truly behind us, Tom takes regular note of what grass and maize silage, hay and straw is left. He uses a plate meter to measure the growing grass on a weekly basis and keeps an eye on the ‘T’ sums (temperature), all important tools to feed a herd of hungry cattle. The farm shop continues to be busy; we had our environmental health officer come last week to do his inspection. He was very happy and gave us a 5 Star rating. They come unannounced, which keeps the standards up all the time. However; as with all inspections, it is good to have it done till next time. We have our Easter order form out and lots of tempting Easter eggs to choose from in the shop. Mothering Sunday was celebrated in our village, with an online church service and posies for children to collect for their mums left in the churches. So many aspects of country life, indeed life wherever you live, has found other ways to continue, but wont it be good to get back to ‘normal’! Kimbers’ Farm Shop. BA9 8HD.

Farming Programme aims to support the next generation
Cornish Mutual has launched ‘Future Farming’, a programme to support its members across the South West The industry-leading programme helps farmers identify and positively address the risks faced from the changes taking place in agriculture. It helps empower members to build a vibrant future for their businesses and includes specific initiatives to support younger farmers. The Future Farming programme launched this week has six core themes reflecting the changes farmers are facing including the environment, adoption of technology and succession. It will encourage farmers to explore commercial solutions, through a programme featuring industry specialists, online guides and learning from the experiences of other South West farmers through virtual and, when allowed, face-toface farm visits. The Future Farming programme is set to equip Cornish Mutual members for the transformative time ahead. The programme also includes the development of a next generation group and the launch of bursaries for young people starting out in the industry. The next generation group, aimed at 25 to 45year-olds, will provide an opportunity for participants to expand their knowledge and business skills through an exclusive programme of events hosted by Cornish Mutual. Bursaries are also being made available to support students from the South West embarking on Level 1, 2 or 3 agriculture courses to encourage and support them as they start their careers in the industry.
An agricultural drone Cornish Mutual MD Peter Beaumont said: “Farmers are seeing the biggest changes in agriculture for more than 50 years and the industry is having to adapt to flourish. “Business model risks including international trade arrangements, evolving consumer attitudes and government policy are all set to impact farmers. “As part of our purpose to protect the farming community, Cornish Mutual is committed to increasing member resilience through insurance and now with our Future Farming programme. “By raising awareness and sharing experiences among our community, the programme seeks to empower members with the knowledge and ideas to build a vibrant future for their business.”
