9 October 2006 - Farmers Weekly Academy
The Farmers Weekly Academy was a series of two articles published on the 15th and 29th September, aimed at testing and expanding knowledge within the farming community on the importance of controlling rats responsibly. Dr Alan Buckle, visiting research fellow at the University of Reading and CRRU Chairman, provides these guidelines and summarises the seven point plan for control (the CRRU code) agreed with leading companies and advisers throughout the industry.

An industry group promoting the responsible use of rodenticides to countryside dwellers is to take its message, for the first time, to this year's CLA Game Fair on 28 to 30 July at Broadlands, Romsey, Hampshire.

24 March 2006 - Industry Group Commits To Responsible Rodenticide Campaign
The Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) is entering its second year with continued financial support from an industry group to the tune of £100,000. Launched in May 2005 and made up of seven leading manufactures and marketers of rodenticides, CRRU aims to encourage those in the countryside to use rodenticides more responsibly and reduce any risks to wildlife.

"Our first year has been very successful," says CRRU Chairman and independent adviser Dr Alan Buckle. "We have targeted key countryside groups - farmers, growers and game keepers - and worked with wildlife and rural organisations to gain their support."
