Will weedkiller be rounded up?

SWATHES of the countryside will soon be turning what many consider to be an unpleasant shade of orange, the result of spraying fields with glyphosate (Roundup) to kill weeds before drilling an autumn crop. However, farmers may have to think again about using this effective, but controversial herbicide following a recent study. Researchers at the Ramazzini Institute in Italy found that rats developed multiple types of cancerous tumours when exposed to currently permitted levels of glyphosate. The EU has asked for the raw data so it can decide if dosage rates should be changed; current UK regulations expire in December 2026.

Plenty to grouse about

THERE were high hopes of a vintage year for grouse shooting: warm, dry conditions and the abundance of fly life for chicks (Town & Country, July 23) left many thinking that this Glorious Twelfth was going to be glorious indeed. However, it now looks as if the 2025 season will be only moderately better than 2024 and, in some cases, worse. The GWCT's Cathy Fletcher suggests, based on the charity's summer grouse counts, that this will be a 'building year'. Since 1990, the average rate of loss of adult grouse on moors has been 24%, but this year in northern England, a stronghold for the native gamebird, it was 36%.

The present is a foreign countryside

WHAT, then, is different about being a countryman? Why do we know we are not the same as our urban and suburban friends? We could list lots of small things that mark that difference, but, fundamentally, it is that the outdoors is at the heart of our lives.

The legacy Robert Bakewell and livestock breeding

THE crowds flocking to the open days organised by the innovative Leicestershire farmer Robert Bakewell (1725-95) at his Dishley Grange, the high prices his beasts commanded, his portentous, secretive air (he had one ram no one was allowed to see) and the cannily promoted image of a food producer for the working class—fuelled what the papers called the 'Dishley craze'. 'Is it not amazing that this extraordinary genius should be able to electrify so many people with the same or nearly the same degree of enthusiasm,' wrote George Culley, a former pupil, in 1784.

Growing pains

THIRTY-TWO is a funny age. You are no longer kicking about trying to find your way in the world—you should probably be beyond that stage—yet you're hardly at the height of your powers. Many of my friends have bought their first house, but don't have children yet. We are in that relatively happy period where we can still go to the pub on a Tuesday night or head out to stalk roe deer when the mood takes us. Yet, for all that, there is a growing sense that we should be taking our professional lives seriously. All of sudden, things have become more expensive. Pals who were fishing gillies or were making cider now seem to be heading to the City or becoming barristers.
