@ListerLawrence Happy Birthday!

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@NickHutsonMusic Personally, would prefer to see more farming and less of the other stuff- farm shops, pubs etc. the first season was magic.

@AnnaLongthorp @loweroddfarm So where are ‘our’ people at RT?
AHDB and NFU were tasked in the FAR review at the start of last year to define the scope and purpose of RT within 6 months. It’s never been done.
It’s all a bit of a cozy job swap, but at our expense.

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@AnnaLongthorp @loweroddfarm 25+ years ago it sounded like a good idea but it’s become a way for retailers to control us; we all have to pass through the ‘red tractor’ barrier so retailers add whatever extra standards they want and get premium products for big standard pricing.

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@AnnaLongthorp @goustocooking And what is Red Tractor doing to protect your market and returns?

Diesel is now £1.89.9 at the local station.

Is it ok if I use the word Stratostrophic?

⛽️📈😭

@AndrewrhShirley @Bluebell852 @horton_official The question is, in a post-subsidy world how do farmers continue in the UK with our high cost base while we are required to compete with imports produced to lower standards in countries where farmers costs are lower.

Where’s the safety net that ensures food security?

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@Buddyboy51 @horton_official Indeed. More so in the industrial, intensive end of production (intensive chicken, pork etc). Less so in extensive ruminant production.

@NickHutsonMusic @EuropaParkUK Heading there in October and taking my family to Eatrenalin.
Can’t wait!

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@NickHutsonMusic God- some folks are never happy. Do you expect them to carry out essential maintenance during the four+ months they’re shut or something?..

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@DanPBrown @harrym_vids Ski slope?

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@Bluebell852 @DoctorChrisVT @TonyJuniper @TheLancet Because farmers are usually ‘small business people’ while governments tend to favour ‘large business people’.
Multinational corporations will tend to buy farm land for more lucrative non-farming uses, as it’s currently much cheaper to import food.

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@ThrimbyFarms @NoFarmsNoFoods @FarmersGuardian @FarmersWeekly @timfarron @_RobbieMoore ..for prioritising nature over food production, although it’s likely that a lot of land will be in the hands of multinational holdings companies by then who will only revert it back to food production IF there are high and guaranteed profits in it, not just the paltry 0.5% of now

[David Renner @DavidRenner0000]

@ThrimbyFarms @NoFarmsNoFoods @FarmersGuardian @FarmersWeekly @timfarron @_RobbieMoore Post WW2 there was massive public investment in farming because everyone recognised that we desperately needed to produce more food here.
Now, farmers are blamed for those reforms and land’s being rewilded etc.

When the crunch comes, I bet farmers will be blamed…

@TWBFarms @Minette_Batters I’m still blocked by her (only person I’ve ever been blocked by) for asking awkward questions regarding GFC.
