Farmers Aid App - We wanted to share something we think everyone working on a farm should have. 👇

The new Farmers Aid app from RABI provides simple, step-by-step guidance for serious on-farm human accidents, helping you respond confidently while emergency services are on their way.

It covers some of the most common human farm accidents, including machinery incidents, livestock injuries, falls and electric shocks.

Hopefully you'll never need it, but it's worth having. More info here: https://farmersaid.org.uk/

Poisonous Plants During Grazing
Low grass availability can lead some animals to search for additional forage elsewhere.

Here are five of the main culprits:
🌱Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum): Frequently diagnosed cause of livestock poisoning in England and Wales, destroying vitamin B1 metabolism and causing bone marrow suppression.
🌱English Yew (Taxus baccata): Highly lethal evergreen conifer where small amounts of leaves or clippings cause rapid heart failure and sudden death.
🌱Oak (Quercus species): Fallen green leaves and acorns contain tannins that damage kidneys and digestive linings, common after storms.
🌱Rhododendron: Contains grayanotoxins that induce severe weakness, bloat, and low blood pressure.
🌱Hemlock Water Dropwort (Oenanthe crocata): An extremely toxic wetland plant, often exposed during ditch clearance.

⚠️ Don't forget about garden waste. Rhododendron and azalea clippings thrown into fields can be highly toxic to cattle, with curious youngstock and heifers particularly at risk.

Now is a good time to pull on the gloves and walk your fields, especially field margins, gateways and watercourses, to identify and remove any potentially harmful plants before livestock find them.

The latest Government announcement brings welcome support for farmers facing the ongoing challenges of this summer’s extreme dry weather. ☀️🌾

The Government has confirmed a package of measures aimed at improving resilience and easing immediate pressures, including temporary flexibility within Environmental Land Management (ELM) agreements, an additional £50 million for the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI26), funding for on-farm reservoirs, and action to improve access to water during drought conditions.

With heatwaves, low rainfall and increasing pressure on water resources affecting farms across the country, these measures are designed to help farmers protect livestock, crops and land while building resilience for the future.

At Kingshay, we provide guidance on all aspects of Rural Compliance and grant schemes and are on hand to help you understand what these changes could mean for your business.

🐄👣 Hoofing around in Cornwall!

We held a fantastic Cattle Foot First course in Cornwall at the end of July, bringing together a great group of wonderful young farmers keen to improve their hoof health knowledge and practical skills.

There was plenty of hands-on learning, lots of great discussion, and a few laughs along the way! 👏⭐
A huge well done to everyone who completed the course. We hope you left with plenty of confidence and skills to put into practice back on farm.

Keep your eyes peeled for our Autumn Training dates, set to be released soon!
