Slight confusion crept into our piece on dairy farming last week when we said: “Milk bearing the Pasture Promise label is backed up by … a food standards label that will guarantee the cows have indeed been grazing outdoors for 180 days, that they are on grass for an hour before and after milking … ” To be clear: the cows are only permitted to stay on yards or in buildings for up to an hour before or after milking, ie they must be on grass at all other times (“On the frontline of the farming revolution that aims to bring free-range milk to Britain”, News, page 12).
Location, location: a piece on Israeli agriculture last week confused the small village of Mas’ade in the Golan with the archaeological site Masada, near the Dead Sea (“After Brexit, Israel senses its chance to boost trade with UK”, Business, page 40).

Strictly speaking, it is based at MediaCity, Salford, and has been supported by Salford city council since 2007.
