Agriculture and rural business

Agricultural industry the trades linked to the food chain are in a difficult time. Outside influences, such as the the stregnth of the pound (£), new reform to the common agricultural policy, and the influence of larger multnational retailers has left many feeling insecure about their position in the market. Keeping your farm going in these times of uncertainty is a tricky task, so you need an accountant who can not only steady the ship, but also set the course for success.
