Many of you will already have finished harvest, during a record-breaking summer for heat and lack of rain.
The NFU has been working hard to collate data across the country of how harvest has been in terms of yields and quality across numerous crops, so please take the time to complete our survey.
This will help us with our lobbying efforts when it comes to pressing government for further support following the dry harvest. Click here for more information.
The lack of rain continues to take its toll on the countryside, with the biggest wildfire in Suffolks history.
Please click here for the latest advice and information, as well as our current lobbying asks.
Fire safety remains a huge concern. We continue to engage with Suffolk Fire & Rescue on what more we can do to prevent fires.
Please try to take as many precautions as possible when conducting field operations and have firefighting equipment on hand where possible.
Following the significant fire in Essex, that unfortunately set fire to a building containing ammonium nitrate, it is encouraged that you contact the fire service to inform them of the location of fertiliser being stored and the quantity.

Suffolk Police have established a stakeholder group to help advise them through the backlog in firearms licensing grants an renewals, in which the NFU has 2 representatives. They are apologetic for the extent of situation but have declared it a critical issue. They are being open and transparent about the situation, and open to ideas and suggestions in order to get through the backlog and improve the wait time in the future.
