What keeps farmers awake at night?

Grounded Research are building a picture of how the stressors in agriculture fit together and how they affect all farmers differently. Share what keeps you awake and get your thoughts heard through the Five Bar Gate community

We work on gathering opinions in specific areas of agriculture, from access grant evaluations to biodiversity grants and machinery purchases. The last three months of 2024 were some of the most turbulent times for British Agriculture with big questions on what changes we can expect for 2025.

It's time the industry took a step back and understood how all of the issues fit together for farmers on the ground, we are seeking farmers' thoughts on where their concerns are and how they feel about them.

Once we have the data, we can analyse any trends in what is impacting who, where and how. Our report is scheduled for March and we are seeking to get as many responses as possible before then from our own panel of over 1000 farmers, our networks and our partners.

Participation is entirely voluntary and you will have the option to join our research community at the end or simply contribute to this piece of research with no further contact.
