arable and grassland. No field too far no hill too steep no ditch too deep

All people involved in AD what are the longest and shortest chop lengths across maize and whole crops? Any info appreciated

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Clearing up round Troway this morning for the nice folks @Derbyshirecc

Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR).

Quick thread:

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Anyone else on the back shift drilling cereals to try avoid the next round of swamp sowing?

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

As it’s #Farm24 here we are building a mountain of winter cow food and it’s an extra early start to get it in and covered before the rain at 12 #mush

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Mowing on the @WildSheffield farmland today, if the wisdom of the Twitter crowd can influence the weather please let it not rain after Saturday!

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

@agrinick To be the shepherd that went mowing first taking the plunge and finishing and watching the sheep following your lead not quite finish in time

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Not been on here much lately too much going on to spare Twitter any thought. To those that live to farm 24/7 there is more to life, had two cracking days with the wife and daughter in N York’s. Back to chopping now

@jimclark67crop None rotational herbal leys will all be the same just like that very quickly 😂

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Makes a nice change to do my own in good time for the 🐮 this time

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Replacing failed OSR with clover leys to attempt to improve soil fertility, break the disease/pest lifecycles before next wheat, and provide protein rich forage to my new 🥩 herd, 20 acres down 60 to go

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Pleasant day out east for me today

@golfnshoot @BarnsleyCouncil Even more annoying when it’s children size quad tracks going through it. Another reason to grow flowers

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Well with 60 acres left to drill the line has to be drawn somewhere, so chuff it that’s me done for spring sowing. Muck spreading, mole draining, and some remedial work and a head start on autumn sowing it is

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Three runs it took to prove the skeptics right. Back to the yard it is then 💦

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

As the Golden Arches phrase it- ‘I’m lovin’ it’ 🚜

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

In the hot seat again #silage24 is go

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

Tramlines are deep but in a rare spell of sunshine the wheat that’s surviving the swamp has lifted my spirits somewhat

[Chris Acaster @AAFarmServices]

@PaulWoldfarm Calling it time here, 80 acres going to be left in the hope of establishing in decent time next time. No point trying to combine late and be on the back foot again
