In volume terms, this year is now on course to be the worst UK cereal harvest on record English farmers have borne the brunt of this, which helps explain why so many applied for the SFI And the frustration that £ support to build resilience is now unavailable to so many

Among the many, many stories of disappointment from yesterday's SFI debacle, a notable casualty was the @Gameandwildlife @AllertonProject 's unbroken run of agri-environmental schemes since the '90s. Especially ironic given the research behind so many SFI options took place there

UK sets targets to boost steel making and cut imports

Up to half of steel used in Britain should be made there, the government says, as it announces its steel strategy.
