THE CLA in the North is advising its farming and rural landowning members to “winter proof” their businesses against the freezing conditions and heavy winds.
The organisation, which represents thousands of landowners, farmers and rural business in the region, has produced a 10 point guide to help members make their farm businesses more resilient this winter.
CLA North Director of Policy & Public Affairs, Douglas Chalmers said: “Farmers and landowners with livestock and buildings - especially those in more isolated areas or away from main roads - should be looking at what threats severe weather brings.”
