Help is at hand if you need it or you can offer assistance

Lambing List now open for delivery

The National Sheep Association (NSA) Lambing List is now open for farmers ahead of lambing season, offering a simple solution for those seeking extra help at their busiest time of year. For many UK sheep farmers, the NSA Lambing List is a relied upon service, helping to connect those requiring assistance at lambing time with students looking for work experience as part of their studies.

One student says: "The NSA Lambing List was a great way for me to find lambing work and gain experience at the start of my career. I never had any connections to farming before starting my career in agriculture which made trying to get my foot in the door difficult.

The secrets behind maximising incubator hatch rates

Buying quality point of lay hens can be an expensive proposition these days (even if you can find a local source of the breed that you want). Incubating fertilised eggs can save a great deal of money and make many more breeds accessible. If you already keep poultry that includes a cockerel, an incubator means that you can hatch their eggs either to increase your flock or to sell. Hugh & Fiona Osborne have been using incubators for many years and have learned that getting a good hatch means attention to detail.
