Farmers: tell us how you’re coping with rising costs and extreme weather

Farmers are facing rising costs for fuel, fertiliser and animal feed as a result of the conflict in Iran, adding to existing pressures on the industry.

The sector is also grappling with extreme weather after the UK’s hottest May day on record, alongside wider concerns about the impact of climate change. Europe also experienced record-breaking temperatures in late May and the UN has warned about the imminent return of El Niño – a powerful weather pattern that raises global temperatures and worsens some rainfall.

We would like to hear from farmers around the world about how these issues are affecting them. Have rising costs changed the way you farm? How have recent weather conditions impacted your business? Are you concerned about the effects of climate change on farming?
