Our vision marks arable farmers' desire for recognition about the positive contributions they make to the country's future. Farmers are pivotal to society in gaining sustainable products from our land resources because they manage and safeguard what comes out of the British landscape: food, energy, renewable materials, clean water, and diverse habitats.

Harvest update
Feedback from farmers and growers paints a hugely varied picture. Some are seeing better-than-expected yields, while others are facing significant drops which will have substantial financial implications on their businesses. While some rain has fallen in parts of the country, and farmers are no strangers to unpredictable weather, the extremes this year have been unprecedented.
The challenge is these weather extremes of drought and flood are becoming more pronounced and more regular. Last year’s harvest was marked by heavy rain and this year by its extreme dryness.
The recently released AHDB 2025 harvest progress report 3 paints a varied picture across the country.
