Welcome to Issue 34. The recent dry spell followed by some much-needed rainfall has come as a welcome respite to the difficulties faced by the country as a whole, as we battle with the impact of COVID-19. It is a term that meant so little just two months ago, but will be etched on our memories for many years to come. As an industry, we have been called upon to ensure that adequate supplies of food are available for the population - and UK farmers have responded admirably. We have plans in place to ensure we keep both our dealer network and the UK’s farmers supplied with the parts, service and machinery needed to ensure crops are sown and livestock is fed. We have always known the importance of producing local food, to high standards and at a price that is fair. And these criteria are now appreciated much more, by the population and those who govern us. We trust you will all take good care of yourselves, your families and those you work with.
