At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

‘Cow With Calf’ dairy farm welfare project wins £60k boost

A project which aims to keep calves with their mothers for longer has been awarded over £60,000 to make Scotland a leader in high animal-welfare dairy.

Farmers David and Wilma Finlay have ambitions to turn the high welfare dairy system into a successful, commercial operation.

At Rainton Farm, in Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway, dairy cows and their calves are kept together for five months.

Standard modern practices involve separating the cow and calf within 24 hours of birth.

But the Finlays’ ‘cow with calf’ project aims to use the ‘ethical dairy’ as a model to characterise the cow with calf system and on-farm rearing.

The project’s overall purpose is to improve environmental and social aspects of farming.

Their farm will now be used as a model with the intention of extending this to farmers wishing to make Scotland a leader in ethical dairying.
