Government launches Farming Advice Service
Service to come online in New Year.

Agriculture Minister Jim Paice has announced the launch of a new service designed to collate all of the advice commonly required by farmers in one convenient source and remove the need to consult numerous organisations before achieving the desired result.

Defra's new Farming Advice Service will provide a single easy-to-use source for farmers needing information on subjects such as nutrition management, competitiveness, cross compliance, climate change adaptation and mitigation. The previous cross compliance advice programme will be replaced by the new Service. A central contact point to assist farmers in finding specialist advice on improving environmental and economic performance will also be available.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr Paice said: “The current array of advice from numerous organisations is bewildering and this more integrated service will make access to help both faster and less complicated.”


The service will launch on 3rd January 2012. The helpline number for technical matters is 0845 345 1302 and the website will be accessible here.
