Farming has always been shaped by the weather, but increasingly unpredictable seasons are making it harder for farmers to plan ahead. Longer periods of drought and extreme heat can now be followed by intense rainfall and flooding, creating challenges for crops, livestock and the wider farm business. AHDB identifies hotter, drier summers, warmer, wetter winters and more intense rainfall as key risks for UK agriculture.
