To November 1990 when SAFE marketing were merging with Kernans, big news in the sector at the time. The top note in November 1990 was about peat producers facing problems as the UK government was considering curbs on peat extraction.That was 30 years ago.
November 2000, Prunty Peat were gracing the front page of the magazine, and some salient ‘Sylvan Facts’ gracing the inner pages. Also a new Teagasc mushroom picking guide was featured.
November 2010 saw news of the mushroom unit research group at HRI Warwick being sadly wound up. It was also noted that the eurozone was in crisis and that winter was looking grim on several fronts. Sometimes we don’t know what grim is.
