Over 20 farmers and growers joined us at Mere Brow Village Hall for our latest Water Friendly Farming Workshop in the Alt Crossens catchment. We had presentations from CSF and NFU covering farming grants and budget updates, Mersey Rivers Trust on the Lowland Agricultural Peat Project, Water Resources West presented on farmer Water Abstractor Groups and Environment Agency talked about their new “Harvesting Success” guidance for water friendly farming. All the presentations can be found on the MRT farming hub.
If any farmers or growers in the Alt Crossens catchment are interested in learning more about “Water Abstractor Groups”, please contact us at farming@merseyrivers.org We will set up a meeting for those who are interested with our partners at Water Resources West and Environment Agency.
