Yesterday, the EU published the long-awaited strategy on generational renewal. Get all of the details here 👉🏻 britishagriculturebureau.co.uk/updates-and-in…

Absolutely fantastic to host the event yesterday that couldn’t have happened without the great @UKFarmingUnions team pulling together. 📸 a (very) rare picture of team BAB!

📣 Details are still emerging, but today 2 more farms in Hungary were confirmed to have FMD. This brings the total number of farms with FMD in Hungary to 4, and 5 in Slovakia. Get the details here 👉🏻 britishagriculturebureau.co.uk/updates-and-in…

This map shows the approximate location of the farms across Hungary and Slovakia with FMD.

A fourth farm in Slovakia has reported infection with FMD. The farm is in Malá Lúč - approx 10km from the infected farm in Baka. Press is also reporting that a second farm in Hungary has FMD. The farm is 50km from the infected farm in Kisbajcs. britishagriculturebureau.co.uk/updates-and-in…

📣 Just in - two of the infected farms are in the Dunaszerdahely region. One farm has 670 animals and the other 650 milking cows. The region is important for livestock production with 13,000 cattle and 128,000 pigs. The third farm is in the Komárno region.

📣 FMD has been detected in 3 farms in the South of Slovakia. The detections come 2 weeks after detection in Hungary. More to follow. britishagriculturebureau.co.uk/updates-and-in…

🧐 what do we know so far about the Hungarian FMD outbreak? The strain is different to the one found in Germany in January 2025, but the source of infection remains unknown. More here 👉🏻 britishagriculturebureau.co.uk/updates-and-in…

📣 FMD has been reported in a cattle farm in the Kisbajcs region of Hungary. This is the first outbreak of FMD in the country for more than 50 years More ➡️ britishagriculturebureau.co.uk/updates-and-in…

Fighting the patriarchy is an everyday duty, but at least today we get to shout it together: we've had enough! Enough 'jokes', enough condescension, enough questioning our competence, enough harassment, enough misoginy. Happy International Women's (rights) Day 💜 #8M #IWD2024

There's no getting away from the wellies down at the Senedd this morning. Thanks to everyone who donated and to those who got up earlier to create this impactful display. #niywffermiocymru #wearewelshfarming

A fantastic report from my brilliant colleague! As we seek to develop new support measures across the 4 UK nations, we can certainly look to our EU friends for inspiration on how best to support our young farmers and new entrants.
