Reply To: Farmers Weekly Forums

Just wanted to let everyone know about the future of these forums.
We’ve been very conscious for a while that there’s been less of an appetite among readers to use the Farmers Weekly forums.
Many people now prefer platforms such as Twitter or Facebook, and there are alternatives forums available.
As a result, we’ve decided, after a lot of thought, to close the Farmers Weekly forums to further comments.
I’ve been involved with them for a few years, have met many interesting and lovely people and learnt a huge amount here, so it’s not without sadness that we’ve taken this decision.
But feedback from readers consistently tells us that first and foremost it’s our other services and products that readers want Farmers Weekly to concentrate on.
We’re planning to close the forums to new comments tomorrow (31 August) and at a later stage they’ll be taken offline altogether.
The FWi photo galleries will be unaffected by this and will still be available for readers to use as always…
