@1GarethWynJones @BBCNews To be fair, he is wearing a cap!

[Rob Ward @1robward]

The case for an amendment to fix this will ONLY happen if the data based on government calculations were incorrect and far larger numbers of family farming businesses are now at risk of ending than they previously predicted. I speak here as a tax payer; land owner and a farmer.

@cjd55yorkie Well said Chris… 😤

[Rob Ward @1robward]

With 56% of land bought buy non-farmers, the outlook on U.K. land prices has to bearish. Land owning farmers, what do you think about this? Incidentally, renting farmers - how about you too?

I wonder what happen to fresh milk sales if ‘full-fat’ milk was rebranded as (choose pole option), then comment with your percentage change (ps. These are both legal names 💪 for full-fat milk) @NFUtweets

@DavidButler34 Well done David for thanking the tax payer. No farm, or business for that matter, should ever take for granted financial help provided. 👏

Farmers! What 5 words sum up your New Year solutions for Agriculture? @nuffieldaust @NuffieldInt @NuffieldFarming @FarmersWeekly @FarmersGuardian @IFarmers @NFUtweets

@vickihird @theipaper @UKSustain @JoeWStanley @NFUtweets @NuffieldFarming @kevinhollinrake Well said, Vicki.

[Rob Ward @1robward]

Farmers be careful what you wish for. Probably unusually, I’ve been a farmer (soft fruit) supplying supermarkets, agent buying from farmers and working for with the supermarkets. Selective market intervention rarely produces the result it is intended to achieve @JoeWStanley

[Joe Stanley @JoeWStanley]

Labour pledging to redistribute the profits of the food system more fairly, ensure trade isn’t used as a weapon against UK farmers & that domestic production is supported 👇

‘Leave it to Tesco’ is not a model for a sustainable or secure food system.

Well said @AliCapper on @TimesRadio highlighting the almost zero revenue growth per kg for horticulture fruit growers despite consumers paying 18% more on average for food this year. @NuffieldFarming @NFUPress @NFUtweets

[Rob Ward @1robward]

Overall Food 12 month inflation today is 18%. I would love to hear from farmers the % change in farm gate sales inflation, be honest. And I appreciate there’s a historical low base… @NuffieldInt @nuffielduk @Minette_Batters @No1FarmerJake @FarmersWeekly @FarmersGuardian

@TheLastLeg Re Richie. Why are you being so height-its? Is that ok. V any other physical observations?

[Rob Ward @1robward]

@SixNationsRugby “(Owen) we’ve brought forward KO by 30mins, but Ireland don’t know about this, (Jonny) we will still beat you!”

[Rob Ward @1robward]

@EnglandRugby @O2 To win. He will need all 30 of them against their 15. And KO the game 30mins before the Irish start. Dark days for English rugby. Sadly.

[Rob Ward @1robward]

@grimmers Nope. It’s wise, as most cold tap water will be around 7oC. Overnight this will become the same temperature as the room. Making it quicker to and needs less energy to boil.🔖
