The UK Dairy Carbon Network is a new project which will bring together farmers from across the UK to explore and implement practical solutions to manage greenhouse gas emissions.

The project is now recruiting 56 dairy farmers to form four farm networks in Northern Ireland, Cumbria and southwest Scotland, northwest England and the south/southwest England/Wales.

The Environment Agency (EA) is urging farmers to begin preparations now for winter slurry storage and to contact the EA if they have any concerns.

A top line-up of speakers will take to the stage at the leading regenerative event for livestock farmers, Down to Earth, next month in Cheshire to outline ways to improve profitability while transitioning to more environmentally acceptable systems.
