@manxambassador They're 12 month rolling figures March to Feb, it's been stationary since September 22.
Question is how did it drop 20+ points between August and September last year?

[David Collister @CollisterD]

@joeyconc For me, January is like this guys February. I'll hopefully live another year🤞🤣

1/ Camera at the mart today with @farmersjournal outside Tokyo, #Japan where near 1,000 Wagyu weanlings averaging 300kg hit €4,000 and above. Cattle all sold in individual lots, washed and brushed before sale

[Gray Baldwin @FarmerDirector]

My wife Marilyn has done a fantastic job rearing 650 little Wagyu’s this Autumn. Keeps us out of the bobby calf trade, keeps NZ beef in a premium position overseas and the cheque from First Light Wagyu pays for all our replacement dairy animals.

50% less N spread so far and still loads of surplus, think we have a lot of money poured down the drain with years gone by 🤔

[George Ramsbottom @teagascgrams]

I'd say that those @teagasc grass growth predictions weren't too far off last week. Here they are for the coming week!!

[David Collister @CollisterD]

@wcain1995 There is only one thing worse than losing a treasured pocket knife, and that is lending it to someone else and them losing it🤦‍♂️

@Evo_Farming @GenusABS Do you use rms on all of the herds, spring and autumn? Just wondering how chalking, segregating works on grazing herds?

[Bodie Kitchel @Bkitch1Bodie]

Haven’t put phosphate on in 5 years. 5 years corn on corn with cereal rye cover crop and cattle on the winter and added biologicals.. Yields some of strongest in 25 years of farming it, no lime applied in 7 years, an only 75# of potash applied last 3 years in season. Cool to see

[David Collister @CollisterD]

@ManxShepherdess @joeyconc @sammyjleahy @ektaggart Winter misery, and summer frustrations😂. It would be interesting to see an hours of sunlight for each area, like Maughold it is often lying in mist here even if it isn't doing any quantity of rain.

[David Collister @CollisterD]

@joeyconc A handful at most I would guess.

[Kevin Moran @morankevin797]

Goes to show the potential of what can be achieved when we put science, diplomacy and unity together rather than the existing polarisation and propaganda. Really good news this! #teamdairy #Sustainability

My dad told me this evening that he forgot about the corona virus earlier and gave a lift to a lad he knew that was thumbing. They remembered whilst en route so they let down the windows. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 #delboy

[David Collister @CollisterD]

@muirtwit Shed looks a great job.

[David Collister @CollisterD]

@muirtwit Buy the lad an impact gun, great toy for him (and you). I got one for the last shed we did, wouldn't be without it now!

[David Collister @CollisterD]

@wcain1995 I'll do you a good rate to hire it for the campsite!!

Weather you’re cynical about this or not... all we can do is take it at face value and hold them to account.
We should expect our MPs to tell the truth, if they don’t we should be furious. This is important
