EAST MIDLANDS NFU Policy Update No 868 23 September East Midlands Policy Update EAST MIDLANDS NFU Policy Update No 868 23 September. NFU RESPONSE TO EGRAIN PASSPORTS CONSULTATION The NFU response to the AHDB consultation on the eGrain pilot is on our website (click here please) From the outset, feedback of information has remained critical to the NFU membership. The facility must be available and operating for farmers from the start. We were pleased to see that in the pilot that function was developed. The decision on whether AHDB progress the eGrain system rests with industry. In the project report AHDB laid out some key questions that needed answering before roll out could potentially occur. The NFU response covers aspects such as farmer benefits, ownership, governance, data security, information feedback, funding and costs in more detail. TB CONSULTATIONS LAUNCHED: CATTLE MEASURES AND NON-BOVINES Defra has launched two consultations and a call for views in relation to Bovine TB. Consultations: A consultation on introducing further cattle measures including more sensitive tests for TB-affected herds in the High Risk Area, and increased surveillance testing for herds in the Edge Area. A consultation on introducing further measures for controlling TB in non-bovine animals. Call for views (responses will influence a future full consultation): A call for views on a more risk-based approach to TB testing of cattle herds in the High Risk Area. In order for livestock and dairy the boards to have time to consider the views of members please send in all responses by 11 October (DEFRA is accepting responses up to 8 November).

ILLEGAL HARE COURSING IN LINCOLNSHIRE If you have some information to pass on please do not hesitate - text ‘HARE’ followed by details to 80800 anonymously and free. We are in a war of attrition here and the more vehicles/dogs we confiscate the more these people realise it isn’t worth it. Please come along to the local meetings at Bourne and Old Leake on Thursday and Friday next week. See the events section for details. HARVEST SURVEY 2016 For the past ten years we have seen a series of dramatic seasons with volatile weather, markets and input prices buffeting profitable arable production. We’re inviting members to help us to assess the impact of another turbulent year in this year’s NFU arable crops harvest survey. The deadline for returning final results for England and Wales is Sunday 9 October. Click here to take part. COUNTRYSIDE STEWARDSHIP – DEADLINE 30 SEPTEMBER The deadline for mid-tier applications is 30 September, next Friday. Some members in CS have received letters asking for additional evidence e.g. photo of a plot or copy of field records. They have until 30 September to return that evidence to NE. It is a requirement of the scheme that the land use code claimed in BPS matches the CS option being applied for. Therefore, if you are currently submitting an application for a grassland option the 2016 BPS claim for that field will need to be for permanent pasture. The check against BPS land use codes will continue through the life of the agreement.

The Fair……………………………………………………………………….14 5. Communities in Charnwood………………………………………………..17 1. Loughborough – a brief history History of the town The name of Loughborough derives from the Anglo Saxon word burgh meaning a town, and, probably, a personal name which became Lough. Loughborough is an ancient town situated in the heart of the Borough of Charnwood, very close to the Charnwood Forest, which includes Bradgate Park, Beacon Hill and Swithland Woods. In close proximity are extremely attractive villages such as Newtown Linford, Quorn, and Woodhouse Eaves. The primitive settlers who first came here were attracted to this spot by a number of natural features. The River Soar led directly to the Trent Valley, forming a natural means of communication between the north and south, and to the east and west of the fertile Soar Valley the land was relatively poor and unproductive. When the Romans came they took over this settlement of the Britons, or at least, certain evidence points towards that being the case. In the grounds of Mount St Bernard's Abbey, which is about seven miles away, an urn filled with Roman coins was found. Some were dated the year 244 and so substantiated the theory that the Romans occupied this area during the third century. In the Domesday survey of 1086 Loughborough appeared as Lucteburne. William the Conqueror had assigned the manor, together with a good deal of the land, to his nephew, Hugh Lupus, who later became Earl of Chester.

It is also one of two main larval food plants of an attractive little geometer moth, the Yellow-barred Brindle, whose other main food plant is the Holly - like the Holly Blue! Ivy also provides important winter hibernating cover for The Brimstone, The Peacock and numerous other insect species. It gives protection to hibernating insects and roosting birds in the worst of the winter's weather when the countryside becomes a wind-swept, hostile place to all living organisms and when decent shelter can make all the difference between life and death to creatures fighting to stay alive and doing their best to avoid being blown into oblivion!
