Back in 2010 it was decided that due to high annual fees and large transaction charges, Gofarmer would move away from Worldpay (RBS) credit card acceptance system and opt to use Moneybookers, which offered the same Merchant service but for free. Unfortunately Moneybookers has now become Skrill and along with a name change comes a new fee structure, with monthly charges for a Merchant payment processing account and inactivity fees if you do not use your account for set periods. Therefore it was decided to stop using Moneybookers and integrate Paypal into the Gofarmer website. This has now been done and along wi

A leading lawyer is urging farmers and any business owner trading in animals to keep up to date with the increasing burden of paperwork or risk losing their livelihoods. Solicitor David Kirwan, head of the agricultural unit at North West law firm Kirwans, has seen a rise in RSPCA and trading standards prosecutions for administration offences. Mr Kirwan said: “Farming administration has grown so much that it is now a business in itself. Unfortunately the risks are so high that farmers and animal breeders cannot afford to ignore their responsibilities." “Huge fines can easily result from what may appe

Whilst the regulations to improve the conditions in which battery chickens are kept were approved and voted on by MEPs over ten years ago, the directive is only coming into force in January 2012. From January onwards farmers who keep over 350 chickens will have to ensure these chickens are kept in 'improved' cages. The chickens must be given access to litter or gravel on the floor of the cage in order to be able to scrat around and peck as they would naturally. The cages will also need to have a minimum of around 800 sq cm of floor spare (nearly double what was the required space before this new directive) and

In the latest in an increase in sheep rustling and illegal slaughtering, a farmer found his flock had been gunned down in an horrific attack in Northamptonshire. At first Mr Phipps thought his sheep had been the victims of a dog attack, but on closer inspection he saw that animals had bullet wounds caused by a .24 calibre hunting rifle. The sheep appeared to have huddled together for protection at first and were then sprayed with bullets. The unknown gang then took 23 dead lambs, leaving other dead sheep scattered around the field. Its thought the raid was to supply the illegal meat trade which has increas

The production company behind 'Made in Chelsea' are planning on yet another reality TV series, but this time based on the challenges and experiences of the farming community. Monkey Kingdom, the company behind the reality TV series, aim to place farmers between the age of 20 and 30 into constructed reality scenarios (so not really reality at all!). It is to be based in Devon and meant to air later this year. However, the Devon Federation of Young Farmers is concerned that the show will simply stereotype farmers and look for farmers who speak a certain way and have certain opinions. Executive producer for

The Gofarmer website has recently gone through some changes. The payment system is no longer run through WorldPay (RBS) but has been changed to Moneybookers. It has taken a while to get the new payment system integrated but it is finally working as it should (fingers crossed). And I have had all urls (website addresses) for the search categories and sub-categories optimised for the search engines so instead of the web address just reading http://www.gofarmer.com/search?search.php it now reads http://www.gofarmer.com/search?livestock-for-sale for example. This should really help with the website's Google rankin
