Farming Help Appeal 2007: can you help?


The Farming Help Appeal 2007 has been launched by Farmers Weekly to help those country families who are struggling, following the Foot and Mouth outbreak, low livestock prices, bluetongue and floods.
Charities involved with the appeal include:
The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI)
The Farm Crisis Network (FCN)
The ARC-Addington Fund
Successful farmers are asked to help those who are facing difficult times.
Sue Eeley from ARC-Addington Fund said: 'Although many farmers are facing real hardship, this year has seen a marked upturn in fortunes for some. This initiative is in response to a number of approaches made for an appeal such as the "send a ton" of earlier years and enables the farming community to help its own. Past experience has shown this self-help frequently exists, but often goes unsung.'
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Peter Kendall, president of the National Farmers Union, said: 'My brother Richard and I are aware of our good fortune as arable farmers and are signed up to support this excellent initiative, and would encourage other farmers to do likewise.'

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.

Classic Georgian rectories in the Cotswolds are hard to find, says Penny Churchill, so this example in Gloucestershire is a real treat.
