Disclaimer

1. We report; we do not advise

AgricultureToday is a news publication. Articles, reports, guides and figures published on this site are general information about agriculture and about using the platform. They are not veterinary, agronomic, financial, tax or legal advice. Take advice from a qualified professional before acting on anything that affects your land, your livestock, your timber or your money.

2. Accuracy of reporting

Every story is reviewed before it is published, but a review is not a verification of every claim inside it. Where a figure or statement comes from a third party — a report, a bureau, a contributor — the story says so, and the third party's wording is theirs. We correct an error when it is brought to us and we record the correction; ask the desk through the contact page.

3. Market prices are reported figures

A price on the market board or inside a report is what our desk recorded on the day it was collected. Prices change, offers are withdrawn and local quotes differ. Nothing published here is an offer capable of acceptance, a valuation or an inducement to trade; it is an invitation to look for yourself. Confirm weights, measures, grades and terms with the buyer or merchant before you commit.

4. Weather and outlook

The five-day outlook and the almanac are estimates gathered for orientation, not operational forecasts. Treat them as one input among many, act on your own judgment and observation, and rely on official weather warnings for anything that endangers people, livestock or property.

5. What readers send us

Letters, tip-offs and contributor material are published at the editor's discretion. We do not verify third-party material before publishing it in the same way we verify our own reporting, and published material carries the view of its author, not an endorsement by this publication.

6. Third-party links

The site links to the partner sites of our network and occasionally to outside resources. We are not responsible for the content or the practices of a site we do not operate.

7. Limitation

Our liability is limited as set out in section 11 of the Terms & Conditions. If something on the site misleads you, tell us through the contact page and we will look into it.
