The National Farmers Union claims British Sugar is trying to intimidate growers into signing their contracts before a price has been agreed for next years crop. British Sugar deny the accusations stating that their growers have until the 31st July to return their contracts and no grower has been advised that they will have their contract taken away. Also on Farming Today, the body responsible for training farriers in England has been shut down, following a damning Ofsted report. The report published in April said the quality of teaching by The National Farriers Training Agency was inadequate and cited significant examples of bullying and harassment by approved trainers.
