Hot weather guidance for farmers

Field fire

Hot summers put extra pressure on every part of farm businesses. We've pulled together our hot weather pages to help keep farmers and growers and their farms safe in the heat. We cover everything from protecting workers against heatstroke to what to do if a field catches fire.  

The NFU is highlighting the increasing risk of wildfires on farmland and the need for action from government, fire services and local authorities to protect lives and livelihoods. You'll find our asks on our NFU calls for action to minimise wildfire risk as temperatures soar page.
