That, in turn, has restricted supply of crops like soybeans and led to higher prices there as well. Prices have gone up for most commodities due to a litany of causes, including crop disease, unfavorable weather and international demand. Although sales grew 6 percent in the quarter, Zuanic said in a note to investors that he was looking for...

In addition to the grazing benefits these systems of farming produce, loss of cattle also means declining hay production and mixed farm practices, depriving corncrakes and other wildlife of the food resources and habitats they need. The environmentally-fragile, peripheral areas in the north and west, particularly the islands, have already suffered some loss of cattle farming, as it has become ever more economically marginal and, in some cases, unviable. But experts say the species...

THE trouble with spraying fields of crops genetically modified to resist herbicides is that all the weeds die. When GM sugar beet was grown using a two-spray system to control weeds, weed biomass and seed fell by 17 and 31 per cent respectively, in comparison to conventional growing methods, meaning less food for birds and mammals. Pidgeon says that growing GM sugar beet would bring major agronomic and economic benefits to farmers. Pidgeon's team suggests leaving two rows of crops in every...
