The BFREPA Why Manure Matters webinar, a seminal moment for the laying industry and its attitude to environmental issues within egg production, saw an impressive turnout.

Three hundred producers registered, one hundred and seventy logged in live, and one hundred and forty stayed until the end. BFREPA is leading the way in important issues such as manure management, but the solutions to this particular issue remain unclear. What is clear is that if we are to face environmental challenges, funding will be needed from the government as farmers are not prepared for the manure storage required to address this challenge. The issue of wash water is one particular point in question. The webinar is now available on the BFREPA YouTube channel for those who missed it.

I am thrilled that BFREPA has secured Gary Ford's appointment starting in November.

Gary, a familiar face to most producers from his work with the NFU or the BEIC, brings a deep understanding and passion for the role of the producer in the supply chain. His grasp of the complex roles of retailers and packers is equally impressive. With Gary on board, we are committed to enhancing dialogue with packers and retailers, fostering honesty, transparency, and trust.

BFREPA's recent inclusion in the RSPCA groups is a significant development. However, it comes at a critical juncture - our member survey will help shape our response.
