At FarmingUK, our editorial content is produced with accuracy, independence, and relevance to the UK farming and agricultural community at its core. These guidelines outline how we create, review, and publish our content.
All editorial decisions are made independently. Content is not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or commercial partners unless clearly stated. Sponsored or paid-for content is always labelled as such.
We aim to publish information that is accurate, fair, and well-researched.
Facts are checked against reliable sources wherever possible
Data, statistics, and quotations are verified before publication
Errors are corrected promptly and transparently
We strive to present balanced reporting, particularly on issues affecting UK agriculture, rural policy, and the farming industry. Where opinions are expressed, they are clearly identified as such.
Content is written or reviewed by individuals with knowledge of agriculture, farming, or rural affairs. We prioritise topics that are relevant, practical, and useful to farmers, growers, and the wider rural sector.
We value original reporting and commentary
Sources are credited where appropriate
Plagiarism is not tolerated
Opinion pieces reflect the views of the author, not necessarily those of FarmingUK. These articles are clearly labelled to distinguish them from news reporting.
FarmingUK adheres to high ethical standards in its journalism:
We avoid misleading headlines or sensationalism
We respect privacy and confidentiality
We do not publish discriminatory or defamatory content
Sponsored articles, advertorials, or partner content are clearly marked to ensure transparency for readers. Advertising does not influence editorial coverage.
If a factual error is identified, we will correct it as quickly as possible. Readers are encouraged to contact us with corrections, concerns, or feedback.
These editorial guidelines may be reviewed and updated to reflect changes in editorial practice, regulation, or industry standards.
