FROM THE

EDITORWELCOME to Farmers Guardian, the premier weekly title for the agricultural community.

For over 175 years, Farmers Guardian has sought to ask what the political and business decisions of the day really mean for its readers, and that is a tradition the current team is proud to continue, both in print and online.

Drawing on the resources of an unrivalled team of journalists, commentators and farmer writers, Farmers Guardian is packed full of technical features across a range of sectors including livestock, arable and machinery. By showcasing farm businesses or delving further in to farming systems, we aim to give our readers an insight into innovative techniques which can hopefully inspire new ways of thinking on their own farms.

Farmers Guardian is also setting the agenda with its coverage of news and business stories, with our Brexit analysis asking what the ramifications of the political maelstrom are for those on the ground.

Our livestock sales and market data coverage also keeps our community up-to-date with weekly trading and shines a light on the auction marts which are such an integral part of the rural community, whether that is from a business or social perspective.

With weekly sales and trading at the heart of our community, FG Buy and Sell Classified is an intrinsic part of Farmers Guardian magazine. Along with its online counterpart, FGBuyandSell.com, it connects buyers with sellers across the country. Presented in a traditional format, it has been loved and supported by the people who make this industry tick for generations.

While print sales continue to be strong, our online news platform is surging ahead. FGinsight.com has record visitor numbers and our social platform is now the largest in UK agriculture. We’re thrilled to share our content digitally to over 230,000 followers on Facebook and in excess of 57,000 on Twitter.

I am incredibly proud to be the editor of Farmers Guardian and am driven to bringing the very best insight and analysis to our readers.

Ben BriggsEDITOR, FARMERS GUARDIAN
