Common land farms need independent ELM scheme facilitators

© Chris Rose/Adobe Stock Post-Brexit support should be controlled by independent facilitators on common land where conflicts of interest have seen previous funding schemes fail to deliver. The suggestion was put forward by the Tenant Farmers Association (TFA) and the Foundation for Common Land (FCL) within a strongly worded letter to Defra. Underlining the importance of the sector, the letter pointed out that 3,900 active commoners farm 400,000ha and manage 21% of England’s sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) areas. But it said this had been achieved against a backdrop of widespread failure of stewardship schemes on common land in the past.

Bold action plan revealed to rebuild Newton Rigg College

Bold action plan revealed to rebuild Newton Rigg College Plans to open a new Newton Rigg College in Cumbria have been revealed. It is hoped the new independent college will start welcoming its first students in September 2025. Behind the scheme is community organisation Newton Rigg Ltd, which has launched an urgent action plan to rebuild land-based education in the county. Operators of the Newton Rigg campus, Askham Bryan, announced that it was pulling out of Cumbria and shutting the facility’s doors. Its chief executive has been grilled by MPs over the decision and we have launched a petition to save land-based education in the county.

New ELM scheme risks failing common land

New ELM scheme risks failing common land 21 April 2021 | Defra is failing to address the future management of common land, two industry groups have warned Defra has been warned that the UK s new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme risks failing in its application to common land. The Tenant Farmers Association (TFA) and the Foundation for Common Land (FCL) have today highlighted the importance of common land in England. Over one fifth (21%) of England’s SSSI area is registered common land and 12% of all Scheduled Ancient Monuments are on common land. This land, extending to around 400,000ha in England, is managed by around 3,900 active commoners with rights on this land in addition to the owners of that land.

Agricultural college is vital to industry s future

THIS July, as things stand, Newton Rigg College will close its doors for the last time, bringing an end to 125 years of learning. Generations of farmers have cut their agricultural teeth on what has been described as the ‘Pride of Cumbria’. The county is the second largest producer of both red meat and milk in the country. It’s flagship seat of learning could soon disappear. The success of former students in farming and other business cannot be measured, but what can is the anger and sadness within the agricultural community over the decision, by its owner and education chiefs, to close the Penrith college for good.
